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

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 ...

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 ...

They also help researchers to study the complex organization of the brain. Scientists at the Max Planck Institute for Biological Intelligence have created a new set of maps for the zebrafish brain.

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 ...

An intricate network of brain cells (neurons) enables zebrafish to sense their environment, find food or mating partners and escape predators. All of these cells harbor the same genetic information, ...

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 ...
