The zebrafish startle tap testing apparatus and method. A) Top view showing the testing apparatus. Fish were tested in eight cylindrical chambers arranged in a 2 × 4 array. B) Schematic diagram illustrating the testing chambers above the tap solenoids which are computer controlled to deliver one vibrational startle per minute (ten total trials). Modified from Eddins et al. (2010). C) Representative tracking of eight zebrafish during the startle task. Left image-5 sec before the tap (pre-tap); right image-5 sec after the tap (post-tap).
