The numbers of potential neurotoxicants in the environment are raising and pose a great risk
for humans and the environment. Currently neurotoxicity assessment is mostly performed to …

Adult neurogenesis is a widespread trait of vertebrates; however, the degree of this ability
and the underlying activity of the adult neural stem cells differ vastly among species. In …

Cells are bombarded by extrinsic signals that dynamically change in time and space. Such
dynamic variations can exert profound effects on behaviors, including cellular signaling …

Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a complex neurodevelopmental disorder characterized
by motor, social and cognitive deficits that develop early during childhood. The …

Animals respond to whole-field visual motion with compensatory eye and body movements
in order to stabilize both their gaze and position with respect to their surroundings. In …

Expansion microscopy (ExM) allows scalable imaging of preserved 3D biological specimens
with nanoscale resolution on fast diffraction-limited microscopes. Here, we explore the utility …

Zebrafish have great potential to contribute to our understanding of behavioral genetics and
thus to contribute to our understanding of the etiology of psychiatric disease. However …

Light-activatable proteins allow precise spatial and temporal control of biological processes
in living cells and animals. Several approaches have been developed for controlling protein …

Optogenetic actuators with diverse spectral tuning, ion selectivity and kinetics are constantly
being engineered providing powerful tools for controlling neural activity with subcellular …

Aggressive behavior is thought to have evolved as a strategy for gaining access to
resources such as territory, food, and potential mates. Across species, secondary sexual …
