The paper identifies sim1a as a candidate gene for strabismus using transcriptomic analysis and CRISPR/Cas9 mutagenesis in zebrafish.

This study shows that activating CB1 receptors in zebrafish leads to increased non-axonal ensheathment without affecting OL differentiation or normal myelin formation.

The paper shows that later ablation of vestibulospinal neurons in larval zebrafish causes greater postural instability, indicating their role in developmental balance refinement.

This study identifies a brainstem circuit in larval zebrafish that converts gravitational signals into vertical navigation by maintaining consistent heading.

The paper shows motor neurons are not required for proper connectivity in the vestibular reflex circuit for gaze stabilization.

The paper identifies molecular signatures and transcription factors that determine functional subtypes of motor neurons in zebrafish, showing their role in fast MN development.

The paper investigates synaptic inputs to vestibulospinal neurons in larval zebrafish, finding excitatory and inhibitory inputs shaped by utricular otoliths.

The paper reveals topographic organization in a zebrafish vestibular brainstem circuit by showing birthdate correlates with neuronal position, innervation patterns, and connectivity.

The paper introduces SAMPL, a high-throughput system for measuring posture and locomotion in small animals, demonstrating its use in zebrafish and showing genetic and developmental effects on movement.

The paper introduces Tilt In Place Microscopy (TIPM) to study neural responses to body rotations in larval zebrafish, showing reliable activity changes in vestibulospinal neurons during and after roll tilts.

This study investigates how vestibulospinal neurons in larval zebrafish encode body tilt and contribute to movement timing, coordination, and posture stability.

The paper generates zebrafish models for 8 catastrophic childhood epilepsy genes and develops a classification scheme and open-source database for these models.

The paper screens synthetic cannabinoids in a zebrafish model of Dravet Syndrome to identify anti-seizure compounds.
