Glyphosate, a pesticide commonly found in aquatic ecosystems, affects this habitat and nontarget organisms such as fish. The increase in water temperature, linked to factors such as climate change, poses a considerable threat. Despite extensive ecotoxicological research, we still do not know the real individual and specific consequences of continued exposure to glyphosate and high temperatures, simulating a scenario where the aquatic environment remains contaminated and temperatures continue to rise.

Anxiety is an emotion that represents a crucial anticipatory reaction of aversive stimuli, with clinical relevance in cases of disproportional and severe occurrences. Although distinct animal models have contributed to elucidate anxiety-related mechanisms, the influence of anxiogenic and anxiolytic modulations on both locomotion and exploration-related parameters in the open field test (OFT) is not fully elucidated. Here, we aimed to assess the influence of anxiogenic and anxiolytic manipulations on the exploratory dynamics of adult zebrafish (Danio rerio) focusing on homebase-related behaviors.

Article Synopsis
  • * A study on adult zebrafish showed that acute exposure to sulpiride reduced anxiety and had tranquilizing effects while lowering dopamine levels without impacting serotonin or norepinephrine.
  • * These results highlight the complex effects of sulpiride and demonstrate the utility of zebrafish models for testing the behavior and pharmacology of neuroleptics.

The reproducibility crisis in bioscience, characterized by inconsistent study results, impedes our understanding of biological processes and global collaborative studies offer a unique solution. This study is the first global collaboration using the zebrafish () novel tank test, a behavioral assay for anxiety-like responses. We analyzed data from 20 laboratories worldwide, focusing on housing conditions and experimental setups.

Article Synopsis
  • - Dopamine (DA) is a key neurotransmitter linked to brain function, and its signaling changes are associated with neuropsychiatric disorders like bipolar disorder (BD), which involves mood swings between mania and depression.
  • - The drug GBR 12909 is used in research to inhibit DA reuptake, creating experimental conditions that model BD-like behaviors, especially in zebrafish, which are recognized as valuable for studying neurobehavioral changes.
  • - The study evaluates GBR 12909's effectiveness in mimicking BD symptoms in zebrafish, emphasizing the role of dopamine transporters and discussing the benefits and challenges of using zebrafish for broader BD research.
