Behavioral and Neural Genetics of Zebrafish assembles the state-of-the-art methodologies and current concepts pertinent to their neurobehavioral genetics. Discussing their natural behavior, motor function,  learning and memory, this book focuses on the fry and adult zebrafish, featuring a comprehensive account of modern genetic and neural methods adapted to, or specifically developed for, Danio rerio. Numerous examples of how these behavioral methods may be utilized for disease models using the zebrafish are presented, as is a section on bioinformatics and "big-data" related questions.

  • Provides the most comprehensive snapshot of the fast-evolving zebrafish neurobehavior genetics field
  • Describes behavioral, genetic and neural methods and concepts for use in adult and larval zebrafish
  • Features examples of zebrafish models of human central nervous system disorders
  • Discusses bioinformatics questions pertinent to zebrafish neurobehavioral genetics
