Background:

Conditioned place avoidance (CPA) assays are vital for studying operant learning in mammals.
Standardization is needed to improve reproducibility and animal welfare in zebrafish research.

Purpose of the Study:

Introduce standardized experimental designs for juvenile zebrafish CPA assays.
Promote consistent animal handling and setup conditions.
Facilitate the study of operant learning behaviors in young zebrafish.

Main Methods:

Developed short-term and long-term CPA assay protocols for juvenile zebrafish.
Focused on standardizing animal handling and experimental setup.
Detailed protocol available in Palumbo et al. (2020).

Main Results:

Established reproducible protocols for juvenile zebrafish CPA.
Demonstrated feasibility of short-term and long-term assay designs.
Aimed to improve welfare and consistency in operant learning studies.

Conclusions:

The proposed standardized protocols support robust operant learning research in juvenile zebrafish.
Enhanced standardization improves animal welfare and experimental reproducibility.
These methods provide a foundation for future cognitive studies in zebrafish.
