Abstract In 1994, Burrill and Easter described the retinal projections in embryonic and larval
zebrafish, introducing the term “arborization fields”(AFs) for the retinorecipient areas. AFs …

Asymmetry of the brain and behaviour (lateralization) has traditionally been considered
unique to humans. However, research has shown that this phenomenon is widespread …

Part of the life cycle of several fish species includes important salinity changes, as is the
case for the sea bass (Dicentrarchus labrax) or the Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar). Salmo …

How consciousness appeared much earlier in evolutionary history than is commonly
assumed, and why all vertebrates and perhaps even some invertebrates are conscious …

The origin of vertebrate eyes is still enigmatic. The “frontal eye” of amphioxus, our most
primitive chordate relative, has long been recognized as a candidate precursor to the …

We studied the connections (connectome) of the adult zebrafish pallium using carbocyanine
dye tracing and ancillary anatomical methods. The everted zebrafish pallium (dorsal …

Our understanding of the molecular and cellular organization of the circadian timing system
in vertebrates has increased enormously over the past decade. In large part, progress has …

How does left‐right asymmetry develop in the brain and how does the resultant asymmetric
circuitry impact on brain function and lateralized behaviors? By enabling scientists to …

The zebrafish constitutes a powerful model organism with unique advantages for
investigating the vertebrate circadian timing system and its regulation by light. In particular …

Background adaptation is used by teleosts as one of a variety of camouflage mechanisms
for avoidance of predation. Background adaptation is known to involve light sensing by the …
