Background: Spinal motor nerves are essential for relaying information between the central
and peripheral nervous systems. Perturbations to cell types that comprise these nerves may …

Zebrafish, first introduced as a developmental model, have gained popularity in many other
fields. The ease of rearing large numbers of rapidly developing organisms, combined with …

The goal of this work was two-fold: 1) To apply serial block-face electron microscopy (SBEM)
to the spinal cord of a larval zebrafish, in order to gain a mechanistic understanding of …

Abstract Background Zebrafish (Danio rerio) are growing in popularity as a vertebrate model
organism for the study of spinal neurocircuitry and locomotion. While many studies have …

Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) enables visualization of the ultrastructure of the
myelin sheath. Schwann cells on the posterior lateral line nerves and motor nerves can be …

The zebrafish is an attractive model system for studying the function of the spinal locomotor
network by combining electrophysiological, imaging, and genetic approaches. Thus far …

In adult zebrafish, slow, intermediate, and fast muscle fibers occupy distinct regions of the
axial muscle, allowing the use of retrograde tracers for selective targeting of the …

We have analyzed pathfinding by growth cones in the spinal cord of the early zebrafish
embryo, because it is an extremely simple system. At 18–20 hours of development the spinal …

The zebrafish spinal cord is an effective investigative model for nervous system research for
several reasons. First, genetic, transgenic and gene knockdown approaches can be utilized …

We describe neuronal patterns in the spinal cord of adult zebrafish. We studied the
distribution of cells and processes in the three spinal regions reported in the literature: the …
