Despite the fact that sleep is important for normal physiology, it currently affects millions of people around the world, especially the US (70 million) and Europe (45 million).

Article Synopsis
- Animal models, particularly rats and mice, are widely used in drug screening and neuroscience research due to their similarities to human brain functions.
- The emergence of zebrafish as a cost-effective and simpler alternative has gained traction, especially for behavioral neuropharmacology studies, given their genetic similarity to humans and advantages in maintenance.
- The manuscript emphasizes zebrafish's growing role in research across various fields, showcasing their feasibility and importance for screening new drugs targeting neurological disorders.
Background: Skin is the largest organ of the body and helps to regulate several physiological functions. It acts as a barrier that protects the body against UV-radiation, toxic substances, infections, etc. The abnormal growth of the skin cells is called skin cancer.
