Survey analyzes behavioral assay preferences in zebrafish labs, suggesting a need for innovation and standardization.
Zebrafish are commonly tested in various behavioral assays. To better understand such practices, we surveyed active global zebrafish neuroscience labs, asking to rank such assays based on their perceived utility. Overreliance on few well-established assays and their inconsistent nomenclature call for further innovation and standardizing of adult zebrafish neurobehavioral testing.
