Neurodegeneration in Danio rerio: The impact of Neurotoxins on Cognition, Memory, and Social Behavior• Studied cognitive and behavioral response to neurotoxin exposure.Conducted a long term thesis research project examining the impact that neurodegeneration and neurodysregulation has on cognition, memory, and social behavior.• The study utilized an in vivo analysis using Danio rerio (zebrafish) as the subject model. The study utilizing behavioral observation, toxicology testing, classical conditioning, blood serum testing, and cortisol testing.• We conducted behavioral conditioning on Danio rerio using timed maze trials.• We utilized classical forward conditioning and paired a visual conditioned stimulus (CS) with the application of food as the unconditioned stimulus. Using the forward conditioning as a baseline higher order conditioning was applied using the visual conditioned stimulus to train the subjects in the completion of a maze.• Subject maze performance was measured as a baseline control prior to exposing the subjects to any external stressors or variables.• Stimulated neuro-degeneration / neuro-dysregulation in subjects utilizing neurotoxin exposure at different phases of the conditioning. Exposure was done using soluble neurotoxins and the subjects were exposed through immersion in measured concentrations of neurotoxins.• Following toxin exposure the subject’s performance in the maze was measured to determine the impact of the neurotoxins on cognition, memory, and behavior.• Tested hormone levels in subject blood samples to analyze cortisol concentrations using a plate reader and collected intact specimen brains for future testing.• Analyzed data using Prism, R, and SAS.
