All animals evaluate the salience of external stimuli and integrate them with internal
physiological information into adaptive behavior. Natural and sexual selection impinge on …

The zebrafish model is the only available high-throughput vertebrate assessment system,
and it is uniquely suited for studies of in vivo cell biology. A sequenced and annotated …

The arthropod central complex and vertebrate basal ganglia derive from embryonic basal
forebrain lineages that are specified by an evolutionarily conserved genetic program leading …

Essential components of animal behaviour are modulated by dopaminergic (DA) and
noradrenergic circuitry. In this study, we reveal at cellular resolution the complete set of …

Zebrafish as a neurogenetic model system depends on the correct neuroanatomical
understanding of its brain organization. Here, we address the unresolved question …

The developing brain is extremely sensitive to many chemicals. Exposure to neurotoxicants
during development has been implicated in various neuropsychiatric and neurological …

Background: The telencephalon shows a remarkable structural diversity among vertebrates.
In particular, the everted telencephalon of ray-finned fishes has a markedly different …

During the past few years, our investigations of the forebrain in the zebrafish (a teleost fish)
have shown that its molecular anatomy and expression patterns of genes involved in the …

In mammals and other tetrapods, a multinuclear forebrain structure, called the amygdala,
forms the neuroregulatory core essential for emotion, cognition, and social behavior …

The zebrafish telencephalon is composed of highly specialized subregions that regulate
complex behaviors such as learning, memory, and social interactions. The transcriptional …
