In the past century, brain and behavior lateralization was considered a human peculiarity associated with language and handedness. However, nowadays lateralization is known to occur among all ...

The idea of this work is to first register a summary volume image of a larval zebrafish's brain to a common reference atlas. In a second step, the transformation which describes this registration and ...

Confocal micrograph of the anterior region of the developing zebrafish brain (consisting of the telencephalon, part of diencephalon and the optic tectum). Some of the neurons (shown in green) express ...

By taking advantage of this behavior, the ability to image the zebrafish's entire brain, and a unique virtual reality system, a team of researchers from HHMI's Janelia Research Campus, Harvard ...

Zebrafish are known to detect color and brightness with the pineal gland, which is part of the brain. How they do so is now being elucidated. We see color because photoreceptor cones in our eyes ...

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 ...

mainly because most experiments need to be done on the brain in vitro (which is only applicable through post-mortem) (Shamoo, 2010; Gomez-Nicola and Boche, 2015; Budday et al., 2019). Hence, animals ...

including exactly how it affects the brain's cells and circuits. To help answer these questions, researchers are turning to an unlikely animal: tiny, days-old zebrafish. The millimeters-long ...

The authors use high-throughput gene editing technology in larval zebrafish to address whether microexons play important roles in the development and functional output of larval circuits. They find ...

This impacts access to BibTeX and RIS files. This important work examines how microexons contribute to brain activity, structure, and behavior. The authors find that loss of microexon sequences ...
