Neuroscience Bulletin invites researchers to submit their original research articles or review papers for a Special Issue titled “Zebrafish Models in Neuroscience Research”, scheduled for publication in December 2025.

Scope and Topics

Zebrafish have emerged as a pivotal model organism in neuroscience due to their genetic tractability, imaging accessibility, and behavioral versatility. This special issue aims to highlight cutting-edge advancements in zebrafish neuroscience, bridging basic research and clinical applications. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

• Zebrafish functional neuroanatomy
• Whole-brain imaging techniques
• Neuroimaging of zebrafish brain circuits
• Zebrafish models in neuroglia research
• CNS disease modeling using zebrafish

We welcome interdisciplinary studies that integrate molecular, cellular, developmental, or systems-level approaches to advance our understanding of neural mechanisms.

Guest Editor

This special issue is led by our esteemed Guest Editor:
