Performing Compound Motor Action Potential Measurement in Zebrafish: A Description of Methodology and a Comparison Between Healthy and <scp>ALS</scp> ‐Affected Animals
CMAP recording is a reliable technique in zebrafish and can successfully differentiate healthy WT fish from ALS-affected animals. Since CMAP is a quantitative metric that is highly sensitive to motor neuron loss or dysfunction, it will allow the zebrafish to be more effectively harnessed for physiological and clinical therapeutic studies in ALS and other neuromuscular diseases for which adult zebrafish models are available.
