"Spontaneous coiling is the earliest motor behavior shown by the zebrafish embryo starting from 17hpf. The article attached says that the coiling appears at 17hpf and its frequency increases, peaking at 19hpf with 0.96 Hz, and gradually decreased to
Though not necessarily a challenge unique to the ZF model, interpretation and specificity continues to be difficult, particularly when trying to anchor these behaviors to a neurological phenotype, not to mention then translating to humans. Kalueff et al. (2013) discusses efforts to define and catalog ZF behaviors that also might be of interest.
