For the past few years there has been an exponential increase in the use of animal models
to confirm the pathogenicity of candidate disease-causing genetic variants found in patients …

Over recent decades, changes in zebrafish (Danio rerio) behaviour have become popular
quantitative indicators in biomedical studies. The circadian rhythms of behavioural …

Abstract In 1994, Burrill and Easter described the retinal projections in embryonic and larval
zebrafish, introducing the term “arborization fields”(AFs) for the retinorecipient areas. AFs …

Ongoing neural activity, which represents internal brain states, is constantly modulated by
the sensory information that is generated by the environment. In this study, we show that the …

Kisspeptin is a neuropeptide, encoded by kisspeptin 1 (KISS1)/Kiss1 gene, which primarily
acts as the regulator of reproductive functions via its receptor, kisspeptin receptor (KissR) in …

Background Optical silencing of activity provides a way to test the necessity of neurons in
behaviour. Two light-gated anion channels, GtACR1 and GtACR2, have recently been …

Animals benefit from knowing if and how they are moving. Across the animal kingdom,
sensory information in the form of optic flow over the visual field is used to estimate self …

The develo** brain undergoes drastic alterations. Here, we investigated developmental
changes in the habenula, a brain region that mediates behavioral flexibility during learning …

Visual systems have evolved to discriminate between different wavelengths of light. The
ability to perceive color, or specific light wavelengths, is important as color conveys crucial …

Simple Summary Cancer stands as the leading cause of death among children and
adolescents in the United States. Some of these pediatric cancers are highly aggressive and …
