Analyzing Locomotor Activity in Zebrafish Larvae Using wrMTrck
Abstract
The zebrafish has emerged as a new model system in behavioral neurobiology research. There are numerous assays available to analyze locomotor behavior, but most of these assays require sophisticated equipment and proprietary software. A freely available plugin, wrMTrck, originally developed to analyze locomotor response in Caenorhabditis elegans, has been used in this study to measure locomotion in zebrafish.
Keywords: MPTP; locomotion; wrMTrck.
