The lateral line is a hair cell-based sensory system that is important for multisensory
behaviors like schooling, rheotaxis, and predator/prey detection in aquatic vertebrates. This …

Larval zebrafish achieve neutral buoyancy by swimming up to the surface and taking in air
through their mouths to inflate their swim bladders. We define this behavior as 'surfacing' …

ABSTRACT Parathyroid hormone 2 (Pth2) is a vertebrate-specific neuropeptide for which
thalamic expression is upregulated by social contact with conspecifics. However, social …

Acute chemical ablation of lateral line hair cells is an important tool to understand lateral line-
mediated behaviors in free-swimming fish larvae and adults. However, lateral line-mediated …

The zebrafish lateral line is a sensory system used to detect changes in water flow. It is
comprised of clusters of mechanosensory hair cells called neuromasts. The lateral line is …

In aquatic vertebrates, the lateral line mechanosensory system allows for sensation of
changes in water current and mediates such behaviors as schooling, predator avoidance …

Background: Damage or destruction of sensory hair cells in the inner ear leads to hearing or
balance deficits that can be debilitating, especially in older adults. Unfortunately, the …

This chapter reviews how the larval zebrafish lateral line serves as a model system for
studying hair cell death and regeneration. Drugs or vital dyes are rapidly taken up by lateral …

In larval zebrafish, parathyroid hormone 2 (pth2) codes for a peptide hormone that is
expressed exclusively in cells near the ventral part of the posterior tuberculum, an area of …

The lateral line sensory system, found in fish and amphibians, is used in prey detection,
predator avoidance and schooling behavior. This system includes cell clusters, called …
