Abstract excerpt
Terrestrial jumping is a typical evolutionarily conserved 'survival' fish behavior. Zebrafish (Danio rerio) are widely used as a model organism in CNS research and drug discovery. Here, we explore the potential utility of the terrestrial jumping assay to characterize behavioral effects of a wide range of pharmacological and other experimental manipulations in adult zebrafish. For this, zebrafish were individually...
