Why zebrafish for behavioral research?
Zebrafish offer unique advantages for behavioral neuroscience: optical transparency, rapid development, genetic tractability, and the ability to screen large numbers of animals. Their behavioral repertoire is well-characterized and relevant to human neurological conditions.
