using a sodium channel blocker called tricaine to pharmacologically inhibit all neural activity during the critical period of brain development in zebrafish larvae. This approach allowed the team ...

Understanding the array of neural signals that occur as an organism makes a decision is a challenge. To tackle it, the authors of a study published last week (January 16) in Cell imaged large swaths ...

Michael Barresi’s research interests are focused on how glial cells help wire the nervous system in the embryonic zebrafish brain. His lab discovered that astroglial cells provide ... evidence for a ...

Researchers uncovered how zebrafish detect colors using photoreceptor cells in the pineal gland ... Many non-mammalian vertebrates like fish, however, are known to detect color and brightness with the ...

Personal interests include explorations of how abstract/minimalist art can reveal fundamental relationships between our senses and higher brain functions. DeMarco, E. C., Stoner, G. R., & Robles E.

Further, zebrafish are transparent ... is a prerequisite to solving not only balance problems, but also brain disorders of development," says first study author Paige Leary, PhD.
