In some cases, these comorbidities contribute more significantly to overall disease burden than the seizures themselves. To improve quality-of-life (QOL) for these children, treatment options should be selected that control seizures and ameliorate comorbidities. Unfortunately, such therapeutics remain largely elusive. Addressing this issue requires suitable preclinical models. Here we used CRISPR-generated zebrafish with single-gene mutations linked to pediatric epilepsy and applied clinically-relevant behavioral assays to study the effects of these mutations. Using high-throughput locomotion-based assays, we uncovered errors in sensorimotor integration in larval\n                    <jats:italic>scn1lab, stxbp1b<\/jats:italic>\n                    ,\n                    <jats:italic>arxa<\/jats:italic>\n                    and\n                    <jats:italic>gabrb3<\/jats:italic>\n                    zebrafish mutants at 6 days post-fertilization (dpf) compared to wild-type sibling controls.
