Zebrafish Models of Neurodegenerative Disorders

Zebrafish are becoming a fascinating new animal model for a variety of neurodegenerative diseases such as Parkinson’s disease, Alzheimer‘s disease, multiple sclerosis and other demyelinating diseases. Zebrafish produce a lot of embryos, grow quickly, are optically clear, and are receptive to genetic modification. They are therefore superior to current in vivo models in that they may be used to stu...
