As a first step in the study of the developing motor circuitry of the embryonic zebrafish spinal
cord, we obtained patch-clamp recordings in vivo from identified motoneurons in curarized …

The zebrafish is a popular model for developmental studies due to its accessibility by
cellular, molecular and genetic approaches. As a complement to these other methods, we …

The zebrafish is an attractive model system for studying the function of the spinal locomotor
network by combining electrophysiological, imaging, and genetic approaches. Thus far …

We have observed the development of live, fluorescently labeled motoneurons in the spinal
cord of embryonic and larval zebrafish. There are 2 classes of motoneurons: primary and …

This review summarizes recent data from our lab concerning the development of motor
activities in the developing zebrafish. The zebrafish is a leading model for studies of …

Characterizing connectivity in the spinal cord of zebrafish embryos is not only prerequisite to
understanding the development of locomotion, but is also necessary for maximizing the …

The development and properties of locomotor behaviors in zebrafish embryos raised at
28.5° C were examined. When freed from the chorion, embryonic zebrafish showed three …

The zebrafish is a leading model for studies of vertebrate development and genetics. Its
embryonic motor behaviors are easy to assess (eg for mutagenic screens), the embryos …

To learn how neurons find their appropriate targets, we have studied two populations of
motoneurons in the embryonic zebrafish: primary motoneurons, individually identified cells …

Developing motoneurons in zebrafish embryos follow a stereotyped sequence of axonal
outgrowth and accurately project their axons to cell-specific target muscles. During axonal …
