Användning av anslags-framkallat svar och Locomotion Analyser för att bedöma muskel prestanda och funktion i Zebrafish

Zebrafish are an excellent model to study muscle function and disease. During early embryogenesis zebrafish begin regular muscle contractions producing rhythmic swimming behavior, which is altered when the muscle is disrupted. Here we describe a touch-evoked response and locomotion assay to examine swimming performance as a measure of muscle function.
