Tachykinin neuropeptides are involved in axonal and synaptic differentiation of the pioneer motor axon in zebrafish

Sofiia Ushakova, Daniela Zoeller, Anja Bretschneider, Thomas Becker, Catherina Gwynne Becker, Ana‐Maria Oprişoreanu

This study investigates the role of tachykinin neuropeptides in axonal and synaptic differentiation of zebrafish motor axons, finding that tac1 disruption leads to axonal abnormalities and increased motor neuron activity.
