Zebrafish is an unique model in neuroscience; key neurological pathways are well conserved and we can used genetics and pharmacological tools to investigate brain functions. This model is also suitable for large-scale approaches and drug discovery efforts

We are using a unique opioid self-administration assay to study the molecular pathways involved in drug seeking behaviour. 

Using large-scale approaches, we are interested in studying the neurological impact of unique neurosteroids. Using computational approaches, we can dissect detailed behavioural alterations.

Using both transgenic lines and cell activity markers, we are investigating how drug of abuse alter brain function in both larvae and adult fish.
