Brain circuits for vision develop without any kind of input from the retina in zebrafish. Animals possess specialized networks of neurons in the brain that receive signals about the outside world from ...

The ability of some animals to dynamically change color to match the brightness of their surroundings is one of nature's great survival tools, allowing flatfish to blend into sandy seabeds, frogs to ...

The zebrafish brain, though simpler than its human counterpart, is a complex network of neurons that engage in a ceaseless dance of electrical activity. What if this neural ballet could reveal the ...

Experts are investigating how cells called Muller glial cells, responsible for regenerating a damaged zebrafish retina, acquire stem cell properties with the hope of eventually developing techniques ...

Breakthroughs, discoveries, and DIY tips sent six days a week. Terms of Service and Privacy Policy. In 2003, a lost fictional clownfish named Nemo swim his way to box ...

Michael Barresi’s research interests are focused on how glial cells help wire the nervous system in the embryonic zebrafish brain. His lab discovered that astroglial cells provide a substrate for ...

Microorganisms are essential for normal social development in zebrafish via their influence on pruning of neural connections in the developing brain, according to a study publishing November 1st in ...

A new study published in Nature suggests that the neural foundations of spatial navigation—the brain's internal "GPS"—may have emerged far earlier in evolution than previously believed. The research, ...

Animals possess specialized networks of neurons in the brain that receive signals about the outside world from the retina and respond by initiating appropriate behavior. Researchers at the Max Planck ...
