Negative impacts of social isolation on behavior and neuronal functions are recovered after short-term social reintroduction in zebrafish

Elsevier,

Progress in Neuro-Psychopharmacology and Biological Psychiatry, Volume 134, 30 August 2024
This study evaluated the behavioral, physiological, and molecular effects of social isolation (SI) in adult zebrafish, and whether the animals recover such changes after their reintroduction to the social environment. The results show that SI altered social behaviors, neural activity, and serotonergic and dopaminergic signaling in zebrafish, but these changes were reversed after the animals were reintroduced to a social context for 6 days.
