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

Working with week-old zebrafish larva, researchers at Weill Cornell Medicine and colleagues decoded how the connections formed by a network of neurons in the brainstem guide the fishes' gaze. The ...

Cells have surface receptors that couple with proteins and other molecules to initiate or inhibit certain behaviors.

The integration of extrinsic signaling with cell-intrinsic transcription factors can direct progenitor cells to differentiate into distinct cell fates. In the developing Drosophila eye, ...

Genome-wide association studies (GWASs) have linked genetic variants to neuropsychiatric disorders, but their regulatory roles in non-coding regions remain largely unclear. Using the LUHMES neuronal ...

Human iPSC-derived models currently used in eye research usually replicate later events of tissue differentiation rather than early steps involving concurrent development of diverse embryonic cell ...

Working with week-old zebrafish larva, researchers decoded how the connections formed by a network of neurons in the brainstem guide the fishes' gaze. The study found that a simplified artificial ...

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

Zebrafish, photographed with confocal microscope. The brain region that controls eye movement is structurally similar in fish and mammals, but the zebrafish system contains only 500 neurons, making it ...
