and Johns Hopkins found where ketamine acts in the zebrafish brain: at supporting cells called astroglia, rather than neurons. The work is published in the journal Neuron. Previous research by ...

In zebrafish, ketamine causes changes a brain circuit involved in "giving up." That may help explain how the drug helps people with depression.

Researchers are turning to zebrafish to unlock the secrets of place ... the team analyzed what spatial information is encoded ...

Zebrafish protein unlocks dormant genes for heart repair Date: January 2, 2025 Source: Hubrecht Institute Summary: Researchers have successfully repaired damaged mouse hearts using a protein from ...

To help answer these questions, researchers are turning to an unlikely animal: tiny, days-old zebrafish. The millimeters-long, translucent zebrafish may not get depressed exactly like humans do ...

To dig even further into the mechanisms that drive over-eating, Wee’s team has sequenced the RNA of the hypothalamic neuron clusters in zebrafish that she previously described 2. They have found ...

The aim of this project is to determine if we can use zebrafish to study motor neuron biology and degeneration. Zebrafish afford many advantages over mice in terms of their amenability to live imaging ...

A mathematician has shed light on the mystery of how zebrafish develop their distinctive stripes. Cardiff University's Thomas Woolley simulated how a zebrafish's skin cells "chase each other ...

So a team of scientists did an experiment with larval zebrafish. Alex Chen of Harvard ... The study appears in the journal Neuron. Jon Hamilton, NPR News. (SOUNDBITE OF MUSIC) Transcript provided ...

However, the path to successful glia-to-neuron conversion is complex ... In contrast to mammals, zebrafish exhibit remarkable regenerative capabilities in their retinas. Studies have shown ...
