## Abstract The larval zebrafish has emerged as a vertebrate model system amenable to small molecule screens for probing diverse biological pathways. Two largeβscale small molecule screens examined the effects of thousands of drugs on larval zebrafish sleep/wake and photomotor response behaviors. B
Given the ever-increasing toxic exposure ubiquitously present in our environment as well as emerging evidence that these exposures are hazardous to human health, the current rodent-based regulations are proving inadequate. In the process of overhauling risk assessment methodology, a nonrodent test o
