Zika virus (ZIKV) infection is a major public health concern, particularly due to the severe brain development defects it can ...

Brain circuits for vision develop without any kind of input from the retina in zebrafish. Animals possess specialized networks of neurons in the brain that receive signals about the outside world ...

Duke researchers are studying the brain by giving psychedelics to larval zebrafish. As a “side project” in the Naumann Lab, neurobiology doctoral student Minel Arinel, alongside senior Aloye ...

The zebrafish brain, though simpler than its human counterpart, is a complex network of neurons that engage in a ceaseless dance of electrical activity. What if this neural ballet could reveal the ...

[Related: A primitive part of the zebrafish brain helps them find their way home.] The survival and adaptability of the severed neurons themselves is a must for the spinal cord to completely ...

“If neurons die in the brain, then they die in the heart and can affect the rhythm of the heart,” said Ampatzis. But zebrafish neurons are now known to produce substances that induce a ...

Zebrafish, just like humans, rely heavily on vision: large parts of the brain are dedicated to processing visual information, and vision is crucial for the animal to find food and navigate its ...
