Znf804a is a regulator of circadian behaviors in zebrafish

This study links the schizophrenia risk gene znf804a to circadian behaviors in zebrafish by showing altered gene expression and transcript processing in mutants.

Zebrafish screen of schizophrenia risk genes reveals convergent dysregulation of cholesterol metabolism

The paper identifies dysregulation of cholesterol metabolism as a shared molecular consequence of schizophrenia risk mutations in zebrafish models.

Removal of developmentally regulated microexons has a minimal impact on larval zebrafish brain morphology and function

This study removes 45 microexons in zebrafish using CRISPR/Cas9 and finds minimal developmental impact on brain morphology and function, with some exceptions in specific microexons.

Genetic context of transgene insertion can influence neurodevelopment in zebrafish

The study investigates neurodevelopmental effects of a zebrafish Gal4 transgenic line, finding phenotypes linked to transgene insertion site rather than Gal4 toxicity.

Diencephalic and Neuropeptidergic Dysfunction in Zebrafish with Autism Risk Mutations

This study identifies diencephalic and neuropeptidergic dysfunction in zebrafish with autism-risk mutations, revealing potential molecular and behavioral mechanisms.
