The paper uses electrophysiological recordings to study exocytic properties of zebrafish lateral line hair cells during development, finding no positional variation but reduced capacitance in tail-region cells and a role for otoferlin b.

This study manipulates CaMKII activity in zebrafish retinal rod bipolar cell ribbon synapses to show that both inhibition and elevation impair neurotransmitter release, suggesting optimal CaMKII levels are required for normal function.

The paper uses imaging to study calcium signals in zebrafish retinal bipolar cells, finding variations in local calcium levels related to ribbon size and active zone extent.

The paper investigates the role of the PXDLS/T-binding cleft in Ribeye's function at synaptic ribbons, showing that mutations in this region impair ribbon structure and synaptic transmission in zebrafish.

This study examines age-related changes in rod bipolar cell ribbon synapses in zebrafish, finding reduced synaptic ribbons and altered calcium dynamics in older fish.

The paper uses TIRF microscopy to study vesicle transport on synaptic ribbons in retinal bipolar cells, showing rapid vesicle mobilization and replenishment compared to conventional synapses.
