Epitranscriptomic regulation of cell functions involves multiple post‐transcriptional chemical modifications of coding and non‐coding RNA that are increasingly recognized in studying human brain disorders. Although rodent models are presently widely used in neuroepitranscriptomic research, the zebrafish (Danio rerio) has emerged as a useful and promising alternative model species. Mounting evidence supports the importance of RNA modifications in zebrafish CNS function, providing additional insights into epitranscriptomic mechanisms underlying a wide range of brain disorders. Here, we discuss recent data on the role of RNA modifications in CNS regulation, with a particular focus on zebrafish models, as well as evaluate current problems, challenges, and future directions of research in this field of molecular neurochemistry.
