The environment experienced by young zebrafish influences both the shape and electrical activity of the neurons in the eye, ...

CADASIL, an inherited disease caused by mutations in the NOTCH3 gene, damages the brain’s small blood vessels, leading to ...

Zika virus (ZIKV) infection is a major public health concern, particularly due to the severe brain development defects it can cause in fetuses when pregnant women are infected. One of the most serious ...

Because of their special properties—heat resistance, water and grease repellence, and high durability—PFAS are used in many everyday products (e.g. cosmetics, outdoor clothing, and coated cookware).

The maintenance of cerebrovascular structural and functional integrity constitutes a fundamental pillar of cerebral homeostasis 1. Dysregulation of cerebrovascular development contributes to the ...

Glucocorticoids (GC) are the key effectors of the stress response and have pleiotropic effects on the body, acting to restore homoeostasis and thus allow an animal to respond adaptively to threat 1.

Researchers discover that disrupted neuronal microexons cause a permanent spike in cAMP signaling, driving severe hyperarousal, insomnia, and hyperactivity.

Researchers use zebrafish models to discover that the RLS risk gene MEIS1 regulates Purkinje cell survival and motor control.

Using a virtual reality setup, the team fixed a larval zebrafish fish in place and showed it different visual patterns. The first 10 seconds show the fish at rest. When the fish sees a pattern ...
