Freezing activity brief data from a new FUS mutant zebrafish line

Abstract

The data presented in this paper are related to the research article “Functional characterization of a FUS mutant zebrafish line as a novel genetic model for ALS”. In this model the lack of fus causes reduced lifespan as well as impaired motor abilities associated with a decrease of motor neurons axons lenght and an increase of neuromuscular junctions fragmentation.Data in this article describes the global locomotor activity data at 3, 4 and 5 days post fertilization in WT, fus heterozygous (fus+/−) and fus homozygous (fus−/−) zebrafish embryos as a response to visual light stimulation, with particular attention on the freezing respose.
