Early development of respiratory motor circuits in larval zebrafish (Danio rerio)
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2023 at "Journal of Comparative Neurology"
DOI: 10.1002/cne.25467
Abstract: Rhythm‐generating circuits in the vertebrate hindbrain form synaptic connections with cranial and spinal motor neurons, to generate coordinated, patterned respiratory behaviors. Zebrafish provide a uniquely tractable model system to investigate the earliest stages in respiratory… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/978-1-0716-2051-9_13
Abstract: Since its introduction in 2015, expansion microscopy (ExM) allowed imaging a broad variety of biological structures in many models, at nanoscale resolution. Here, we describe in detail a protocol for application of ExM in whole-brains… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s13238-018-0587-7
Abstract: ABSTRACTDetection of moving objects is an essential skill for animals to hunt prey, recognize conspecifics and avoid predators. The zebrafish, as a vertebrate model, primarily uses its elaborate visual system to distinguish moving objects against… read more here.
