Preface
Animal models and tests have become increasingly important for biomedical research, enabling a better understanding of pathogenic pathways involved in various human disorders. Over the last decades, zebrafish (Danio rerio) has become a very popular model organism in biomedical research. But, as we are often asked, why zebrafish? This small aquatic vertebrate fish species has traveled all the way from its natural habitat in India to emerge as a promising model organism in developmental biology, genetics, physiology, and toxicology. Recently, this fish has entered the waters of neuroscience and biological psychiatry, quickly becoming an indispensable model species in this field. With a high genetic homology to humans (~75 % based on coding regions), it is not surprising that humans and fish are very similar physi
