A zebrafish model of addiction has recently been used to query changes in gene expression during this process. The mammalian brain is characterized by neuroanatomical biochemical and molecular complexities that drive cognitive and emotional responses. One of the brain s most notable functions is the evaluation of rewards that impact on daily activities and that help the individual to plan for future rewarding experiences. Unfortunately the brain-rewarding system can be hijacked by psychostimulants that cause drug dependence and addiction in humans. Drug dependence and addiction are complex and vexing neuropsychiatric syndromes characterized by periods of escalated drug use abstinence repeated relapses and an array of adverse medical and biopsychosocial consequences 1 . Although efforts to treat addicted patients have met with some degree of success the molecular neurobiology of these syndromes has remained mysterious. Several animal models have been devised in attempts to dissect the biochemical and molecular pathways that form the pathobiological substrates of drug addiction. Among these is the conditioned place preference CPP which has been used extensively to assess the rewarding effects of both licit and illicit drugs 2 3 . CPP has been used to investigate the motivational properties of an array of pharmacological agents including amphetamine cocaine ethanol marijuana methamphetamine nicotine and .
