    • Optimized protocol for conditioned place avoidance learning in juvenile zebrafish 

      Palumbo, Fabrizio; Serneels, Bram; Yaksi, Emre (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)
      Conditioned place avoidance assays are broadly used in mammals to study different cognitive aspects of operant learning. Here, we introduce a series of experimental designs for training juvenile zebrafish in short-term and ...
    • Zebrafish dorsal habenula is required for updating learned behaviors 

      Palumbo, Fabrizio; Serneels, Bram; Pelgrims, Robbrecht; Yaksi, Emre (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)
      Operant learning requires multiple cognitive processes, such as learning, prediction of potential outcomes, and decision-making. It is less clear how interactions of these processes lead to the behavioral adaptations that ...
