This study shows oxytocin signaling is essential for maturing TN-GnRH3 circuits and regulating mate preference in medaka, with C1q-dependent synaptic mechanisms involved.

The paper develops a transgenic medaka strain for whole brain calcium imaging and demonstrates its use in detecting neural activity responses to stimuli.

This study examines how rapid body colouration changes in Oryzias celebensis relate to aggressive behavior during male-male competition, finding that blackened markings signal aggression and deter attacks.

The paper identifies epigenetically distinct clonal compartments in the medaka fish dorsal pallium, revealing unique open chromatin patterns and synaptic features in the Dd2 region.

This study introduces a method to control medaka behavior using optogenetics with channelrhodopsin, showing light-induced movements in embryos, larvae, and adults.
