TL;DR: A detailed catalog of zebrafish behaviors that covers both larval and adult models is developed, representing a beginning of creating a more comprehensive ethogram ofZebrafish behavior, which will improve interpretation of published findings, foster cross-species behavioral modeling, and encourage new groups to apply zebra fish neurobehavioral paradigms in their research.

TL;DR: This study examined the effect of group-size in the shoaling paradigm, and evaluated the ability of novel video-tracking tools to accurately track an entire shoal, compared to traditional manual analysis of shoaling phenotypes, demonstrating the capacity of video- tracking technology to assess zebrafish shoaling in a high-throughput and reliable manner.

TL;DR: The results support the complex pharmacological profile of ibogaine and its high sensitivity in zebrafish models, dose-dependently affecting multiple behavioral domains, and strongly supports the developing utility of aquatic models in hallucinogenic drug research.

TL;DR: The results show that zebrafish are highly sensitive to drugs bi-directionally modulating brain monoamines, generally paralleling rodent and clinical findings, and emphasizes the potential of zebra fish tests to model complex brain disorders associated with monoamine dysregulation.

TL;DR: The mounting evidence to support emotionality in zebrafish and other fishes is outlined, important to justify the validity of zebra fish ‘affective’ paradigms and their utility for basic/translational research of normal and pathological behaviors.
