The zebrafish has gained increasing recognition as a valuable vertebrate model in biomedical research. Its powerful genetic toolkit, coupled with exceptional imaging capabilities, has made it a favored choice among researchers in both fundamental biology and disease modeling. In the field of neuroscience, the zebrafish model has already had a significant impact and is poised to remain a crucial tool for future discoveries. Its unique advantages allow scientists to observe brain development in real time and monitor neuronal activity across the entire living brain in an active, behaving animal. These features make it an ideal system for studying neural circuit formation and function, including their alterations in disease conditions.
We propose to put together a special issue dedicated to exploring the diverse and innovative uses of zebrafish in neuroscience research. This issue aims to showcase the latest advances, methodologies, and discoveries that highlight the unique advantages of zebrafish as a model organism for understanding neural development, function, and disease.
This collection seeks to provide an up-to-date neuroscience research using zebrafish, showcasing both the broad scope and intricate details of current research. In addition to summarizing the current state of knowledge, it also aims to identify key gaps, emerging trends, and potential directions for future studies, encouraging further advancements in the field.
Topics of interest include (but are not limited to):
• development of the nervous system,
• neural circuit development and function
• behavioral neuroscience and neural plasticity
• zebrafish models of neurological and psychiatric disorders
• advances in imaging and genetic technologies in the context of neuroscience research
