Summary The potential for pain perception in teleost fish is a controversial issue and represents a focal point for the fundamental understanding of fish welfare. In this project, we specifically targeted some of the most central elements of the current scientific debate on pain in fish through an interdisciplinary approach, combining methodology such as neurophysiology, histology, electrophysiology and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).
Goals:
(1) Identify brain areas involved in the detection of noxious stimuli in Atlantic cod; (2) Basic knowledge for assessment of the potential for pain perception in teleost fish Part objectives (work packages, WPs); (3) Characterize the neuroanatomy for nociception and potential pain perception in cod; (4) Identify brain areas responsive to noxious stimulation; (5) Assess the relative degree of neural processing during noxious stimulation.
