FRONTIERS IN MOLECULAR NEUROSCIENCE, 2022

Short companion primary research report for the review article below, also published Frontiers special topic: Using Zebrafish to Investigate Normal Development and Function of the Nervous System: How nervous system disorders occur and testing of potential therapeutic approaches. 

Ruey-Kuang Cheng (senior research fellow) and Jazlynn Tan (research officer) share joint first authorship for developing, validating and analyzing data from the multiple behavioral assays utilized. Also featured is a new machine-based analysis method that Jazlynn developed for quantifying food intake via gut fluorescence (analysis code on our lab's GitHub). Kai Xin Chua (research officer) conducted all experiments. Cheryl Tan was a SGUnited trainee turned research officer who helped perform and optimize initial pilot experiments.
