Types of tank or maze used for cognitive tests in zebrafish. (A) Two-chamber tank colored coded as a visual cue, for example. The unconditioned stimulus can be appetitive such as a food reward, or aversive such as an electric shock; (B) T-maze; (C) Plus-maze; (D) Y-maze. The arms of the mazes can be coded with different color or geometric cues.

Learning and memory are essential to organism survival and are conserved across various species, especially vertebrates. Cognitive studies involving learning and memory require using appropriate model organisms to translate relevant findings to humans. Zebrafish are becoming increasingly popular as one of the animal models for neurodegenerative dis...

... inhibitory avoidance test (IAT) is one of the most commonly used cognitive tests to evaluate the learning and memory functions of zebrafish. The test can be established using a two-chamber tank ( Figure 1A) and a maze tank of various shapes (Figure 1B-D). In a two-chamber tank, both sides of the tank/maze are cued with color sleeves or a darklight environment, while one side is chosen to pair the cue with an aversive stimulus such as the ES [52], dropping weight [53] or stirring [54]. ...

Ewing sarcoma is a pediatric bone and soft tissue cancer with an urgent need for new therapies to improve disease outcome. To identify effective drugs, phenotypic drug screening has proven to be a powerful method, but achievable throughput in mouse xenografts, the preclinical Ewing sarcoma standard model, is limited. Here, we explored the use of xe...
