摘要Zebrafish is an emerging animal model for studies on auditory system.This model presents high comparability with humans,good accessibility to the hearing organ,and high throughput capacity.To better utilize this animal model,methodologies need to be used to quantify the hearing function of the zebrafish.Zebrafish displays a series of innate and robust behavior related to its auditory function.Here,we reviewed the advantage of using zebrafish in auditory research and then introduced three behavioral tests,as follows:the startle response,the vestibular-ocular reflex,and rheotaxis.These tests are discussed in terms of their physiological characteristics,up-to-date technical development,and apparatus description.Test limitation and areas to improve are also introduced.Finally,we revealed the feasibility of these applications in zebrafish behavioral assessment and their potential in the high-throughput screening on hearing-related genes and drugs.
