One-sided vestibular disorders are common in clinical practice; however, their models have
not been fully established. We investigated the effect of unilateral or bilateral deficits in the …

Zebrafish is an emerging animal model for studies on auditory system. This model presents
high comparability with humans, good accessibility to the hearing organ, and high …

Mutations in human VPS4A are associated with neurodevelopmental defects, including
motor delays and defective muscle tone. VPS4A encodes a AAA-ATPase required for …

Saccades are rapid eye movements that are used by all species with good vision. They have
been extensively studied, especially in vertebrates, and are understood to be controlled by a …

Locomotor maturation requires concurrent gaze stabilization improvement for maintaining
visual acuity [1, 2]. The capacity to stabilize gaze, in particular in small aquatic vertebrates …

Hox genes have been shown to be essential in vertebrate neural circuit formation and their
depletion has resulted in homeotic transformations with neuron loss and miswiring. Here we …

The zebrafish (Danio rerio) is a powerful vertebrate model to study cellular and
developmental processes in vivo. The optical clarity and their amenability to genetic …

Understanding brain mechanisms is a currently open challenge. There are several methods
available to characterize the functional aspects. However, the information that one can …

Nervous systems have evolved to combine environmental information with internal state to
select and generate adaptive behavioral sequences. To better understand these …

The zebrafish is now a well-established model for the study of the development, pathology,
and regeneration of almost all vertebrate organ systems, and the inner ear is no exception …
