摘要

There is growing interest in zebrafish as a model organism in behavioral pharmacology research. Several anxiety behaviors have been characterized in zebrafish, but the effect of anxiolytic drugs on these parameters has been scarcely studied. The purpose of this work was to assess the predictive validity of acute treatment with anxiolytic drugs on behavioral parameters of anxiety. In the first task we simultaneously observed behavior of adult zebrafish on four parameters: height in the tank, locomotion, color, and shoal cohesion. The second task was the assessment of light/dark preference for 5 min. The benzodiazepines clonazepam, bromazepam, diazepam, and a moderate dose of ethanol significantly reduced shoal cohesion. Buspirone specifically increased zebrafish exploration of higher portions of the tank. In the light/dark task, all benzodiazepines, buspirone, and ethanol increased time spent in the light compartment. After treatment with anxiolytics, fish typically spent more than 60s and rarely less than 40s in the light compartment whereas controls (n=45) spent 33.3+/-14.4s and always less than 60s in the light compartment. Propranolol had no clear effects in these tasks. These results suggest that light/dark preference in zebrafish is a practical, low-cost, and sensitive screening task for anxiolytic drugs. Height in the tank and shoal cohesion seem to be useful behavioral parameters in discriminating different classes of these drugs.
