Zebrafish are becoming a popular model organism for neuroscience research.
The 10th One-day Zebrafish Behavioral Neuroscience and Neurophenotyping Workshop (ZB2N-2015) is dedicated to major neurobehavioral domains and advanced phenotyping techniques for probing normal and pathological behaviors in zebrafish.
