NEUROPHYSIOLOGICAL AND ECOTOXICOLOGICAL RELEVANCE OF SOME BEHAVIORAL MANIFESTATIONS IN ZEBRAFISH – DEVELOPMENT OF AN OCD MODEL

The present study explores the neurophysiological and ecotoxicological significance of the specific behavioral manifestations observed in zebrafish, focusing on the development of a model for obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). Zebrafish are increasingly used as a model organism due to their well-characterized nervous system and behavioral responses, which provide insights into human neuropsychiatric states. The research aims to investigate how these behaviors may be related to the neurophysiological changes and environmental factors that could contribute to OCD. By understanding these links, the study aims to advance the development of a reliable model of OCD, using zebrafish, that could facilitate a better understanding and treatment of OCD in humans.
