斑马鱼已经积累了大量的遗传信息。学习和记忆也已经用斑马鱼进行了研究，但学习范例的数量有限。在这里，我们提出了一个简单的联想任务，并研究了一种新的联想器。我们发现，视觉访问一组同种有奖励的属性，这可以支持斑马鱼的联想学习。我们讨论了这种奖励刺激的优点，并提出建议，其使用在高通量的行为屏幕。(c)2007 Elsevier B.V.保留所有权利。
Large amount of genetic information has been accumulated for zebrafish. Learning and memory have also been investigated with zebrafish but the number of learning paradigms is limited. Here we present a simple associative task and investigate a novel reinforcer. We show that visual access to a group of conspecifics has rewarding properties and that this reinforcer can support associative learning in zebrafish. We discuss the advantages of this rewarding stimulus and make recommendations for its use in high throughput behavioral screens. (c) 2007 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
