Abstract
Optogenetics brought noninvasive neural activation in living organisms. Transparent zebrafish larva is one of the suitable animal models that receive the full benefit of this technique and provides behavioral studies based on intact individual nervous system. In this chapter, we describe methods to introduce optogenetic genes into zebrafish, and desirable apparatus for photostimulation and motion analysis with an example from our studies.
