“…This model is widely considered to offer numerous logistical and economic advantages over mammalian models as zebrafish spawn overnight, hatch in 2-3 days post fertilization, develop complex behavior within the first week of life, and reach sexual maturity in 2-3 months [19]. Zebrafish have been proposed as a model of Alzheimer´s disease [20,21], schizophrenia [22], drug abuse [23], and other brain disorders [24,25]. The utility of both adult and larval zebrafish in neuroscience has grown markedly in the past decades because it is a vertebrate species with high physiological and genetic homology to humans (69% of zebrafish genes have human orthologs meaning that it is frequently possible to study human disease-related genes in fish), and also because of the ease of genetic manipulation, fully characterized genome [24,[26][27][28][29][30][31].…”
