Social behavioral phenotyping of the zebrafish Casper mutant following embryonic alcohol exposure.

We report that exposure to 1% alcohol from either 6 to 24, or 24 to 26 hours postfertilization reduces the social behavior of adult casper zebrafish. Our findings set the stage for the use of this important zebrafish resource in studies of FASD. PMID: 30107225 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
