Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a highly prevalent neurodevelopmental
disorder resulting from the interaction between genetic and environmental risk factors. It is …

Retinal axon projections form a map of the visual environment in the tectum. A zebrafish
larva typically detects a prey object in its peripheral visual field. As it turns and swims …

Animals use global image motion cues to actively stabilize their position by compensatory
movements. Neurons in the zebrafish pretectum distinguish different optic flow patterns, eg …

Evading or escaping from predators is one of the most crucial issues for survival across the
animal kingdom. The timely detection of predators and the initiation of appropriate fight-or …

Zebrafish telencephalon acquires an everted morphology by a two-step process that occurs
from 1 to 5 days post-fertilization (dpf). Little is known about how this process affects the …

Substance use disorder (SUD) is comorbid with devastating health issues, social
withdrawal, and isolation. Successful clinical treatments for SUD have used social …

The superficial interneurons, SINs, of the zebrafish tectum, have been implicated in a range
of visual functions, including size discrimination, directional selectivity, and looming‐evoked …

The ability to stimulate mammalian cells with light, brought along by optogenetic control, has
significantly broadened our understanding of electrically excitable tissues. Backed by …

The brain is assembled during development by both innate and experience-dependent
mechanisms1–7, but the relative contribution of these factors is poorly understood. Axons of …
