Behavioral and Neural Genetics of Zebrafish: A Comprehensive Guide

Behavioral and Neural Genetics of Zebrafish, authored by Robert T. Gerlai, is a comprehensive guide that assembles state-of-the-art methodologies and current concepts pertinent to the neurobehavioral genetics of zebrafish. The book focuses on the natural behavior, motor function, learning, and memory of both fry and adult zebrafish, providing a detailed account of modern genetic and neural methods adapted to, or specifically developed for, Danio rerio.

Throughout the book, numerous examples are presented on how these behavioral methods can be utilized for disease models using the zebrafish. Furthermore, a section dedicated to bioinformatics and “big-data” related questions pertinent to zebrafish neurobehavioral genetics is included, providing readers with a comprehensive understanding of the field.

Key Features of the Book
