| SCREENING ASSAYS THAT TRACK AND MONITOR ZEBRAFISH BEHAVIOUR 3Z Discovery : Small Molecules 3Z developed zebrafish screening assays. Recording up to 2300 larvae in parallel the throughput is immense while gaining high-content information from a whole behaving animal. We specialize in CNS, offering various assays. Currently, we present specifics of our ALS assay. By extended analysis of behavioral parameters we utilize behavior as the ultimate readout of the central nervous system to probe effects of small molecules on CNS activity.

| AGE-RELATED HEARING LOSS MODEL CILcare Discovery : Other SAMP8 mouse model presents accelerated senescence and has been identified as a model of gerontological research. We studied the effect of N-acetylcysteine (NAC), an antioxidant, on SAMP8 hearing loss and memory. We observed a strong decrease of auditory brainstem response thresholds and an increase of distortion product amplitudes in NAC treated group compared to vehicle. Results confirm that NAC delays the senescence process by slowing the age-related hearing loss and improving memory.
