A team of researchers led by MIPT s Allan Kalueff has studied chronic stress in zebrafish and determined that the animal can serve as a valuable model species for research into the associated brain diseases, complementing research currently done on rodents. The paper was published in
Scientific Reports.
Translational model
The zebrafish, also known as Danio rerio, is a freshwater fish from the minnow family. It got its name for the stripes on its body. Zebrafish are widely used as a translational model in genetics, molecular biology, embryology, pharmacology, and more recently in neurobiology. Their use as lab animals was pioneered in the 60s by U.S. biologist George Streisinger. ....
