Contributions of Zebrafish Studies to the Behavioural Consequences of Early Alcohol Exposure: A Systematic Review.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The consequences of mild to severe exposure to alcohol during brain development is still a matter of debate and scientific investigation. The long-term behavioural effects of ethanol exposure have been related to impaired social skills and cognition. Zebrafish have become a suitable animal model to investigate the effects of early ethanol exposure because it is very feasible to promote drug delivery during early development.

Objective

The goal of the current report is to review existing behavioural studies addressing the impact of early alcohol exposure using zebrafish to determine whether these models resemble the behavioural effects of early alcohol exposure in humans.

Methods

A comprehensive search of biomedical databases was performed using the operatio
