Movement response of zebrafish to chemicals is interest in screening studies. We introduce a microfluidic device for partial immobilization, head<sc>l</sc>-arginine exposure and movement larvae under controlled conditions.
The zebrafish is a lower vertebrate model organism offering multiple applications for both fundamental and biomedical research into the nervous system from genes to behaviour. Investigation of larvae's movement in response various stimuli, which involves dopaminergic system, interest field sensory-motor integration. Nevertheless, conventional methods screening Petri dishes multi-well plates are mostly qualitative, uncontrollable, inaccurate terms stimulus delivery analysis. We recently...
Abstract Behavioral responses of zebrafish larvae to environmental cues are important functional readouts that should be evoked on-demand and studied phenotypically in behavioral, genetical developmental investigations. Very recently, it was shown execute a voluntary oriented movement toward the positive electrode an electric field along microchannel. Phenotypic characterization this response not feasible due larva’s rapid channel. To overcome challenge, microfluidic device introduced...
