The role of CRH in behavioral responses to acute restraint stress in zebrafish
2012, Progress in Neuro-Psychopharmacology and Biological PsychiatryCitation Excerpt :This intricate signaling system resembles the human neuroendocrine system both in complexity and regarding cortisol utilization (as opposed to corticosterone in rodents), reinforcing the contribution of zebrafish to studies on the neurobiology of stress. Advances in the field of comparative stress physiology suggest that the CRH system plays a prominent role in regulating and integrating neuroendocrine, autonomic, immune, and behavioral responses to stressors in vertebrates (Contarino et al., 1999, 2000; Crespi and Denver, 2004; Heinrichs and Koob, 2004; Smagin et al., 2001). Studies have been designed to describe potential neural mechanisms underlying CRH-mediated behavioral responses in vertebrates, investigating particularly a role for brainstem neurotransmitter systems capable of modulating CRH-induced behavior (Carpenter et al., 2007; Clements et al., 2003; Clements and Schreck, 2004).
