Behavioural Neuroscience in Zebrafish (Phase 4)

This project will involve behavioural neuroscience testing in zebrafish. Students will perform application of various compounds of interest and study behavioural responses with a variety of paradigms. Potential substances of interest include toxicants like PFOS, legal drugs like ethanol and nicotine, as well as terpenes, to name a few. The goal will be to study dose-dependent impacts of these substances on anxiety-like behaviour and locomotion

Zebrafish pharmacology and behavioural neuroscience

This project will involve examination of pharmacological compounds on the behaviorual response of zebrafish. Compounds will be applied both acutely and repeatedly to examine a potential differential impact. Students will be involved in the experiment, data collection, analysis, and the drafting of the results.
