Functional and ultrastructural analysis of reafferent mechanosensation in larval zebrafish

Iris Odstrcil, Mariela D. Petkova, Martin Haesemeyer, Jonathan Boulanger-Weill, Maxim Nikitchenko, James A. Gagnon, Pablo Oteíza, Richard Lee Schalek, Adi Peleg, Rubén Portugues, Jeff William Lichtman, Florian Engert

This study investigates how zebrafish larvae distinguish self-generated reafferent mechanosensory signals from exafferent stimuli using lateral line hair cells and neural circuits.

Social isolation modulates appetite and defensive behavior via a common oxytocinergic circuit in larval zebrafish

Caroline Lei Wee, Erin Yue Song, Maxim Nikitchenko, Kristian J. Herrera, Sandy Wong, Florian Engert, Sam Martin Kunes

The paper shows social isolation activates an oxytocinergic circuit in larval zebrafish that modulates both defensive and feeding behaviors through chemical cues.

A bidirectional network for appetite control in larval zebrafish

Caroline Lei Wee, Erin Yue Song, Robert Evan Johnson, Deepak Ailani, Owen Randlett, Ji-Yoon Kim, Maxim Nikitchenko, Armin Bahl, Chao-Tsung Yang, Misha B. Ahrens, Koichi Kawakami, Florian Engert, Sam Martin Kunes

This study identifies a bidirectional interaction between hypothalamic nuclei in larval zebrafish that regulates hunger and satiety through opposing activity patterns.
