Raw data from a study examining three-dimensional shoaling behavior in adult male and female AB wild type and BDNF-/- knock-out zebrafish. The dataset was authored by Mattia Toni and last updated on April 24, 2026. It investigates how complete loss of Brain Derived Neurotrophic Factor (BDNF) affects social behavior in a collective context.
Use Cases
- Analyze group structure and cohesion based on metrics like inter-fish distance and shoal volume mentioned in the description
- Compare horizontal spatial exploration patterns between genotypes based on the described peripheral occupancy data
- Investigate dissociation between vertical and horizontal behavioral axes in a social context as highlighted in the findings
- Model the selective modulation of spatial exploration components by BDNF deficiency
Strengths
- Data compares two distinct genotypes (wild type and BDNF-/-) and both sexes, allowing for genotype and sex-based analysis
- Focuses on three-dimensional shoaling behavior, capturing complex social dynamics in a collective context
- Released under a permissive CC-BY-4.0 license, facilitating reuse and sharing
Limitations
- Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download
- Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment for large-scale modeling
- Data may reflect experimental bias inherent to the specific laboratory setup and zebrafish line used
