This study shows that reduced GABA levels during development increase functional connectivity and hyper-synchronization in the larval zebrafish optic tectum.

This study examines fovea and macula maturation in Anolis sagrei lizards, finding differences from primate development, including increased macular diameter and minimal photoreceptor packing post-hatching.

This paper describes retinal development and remodeling in the brown anole lizard, identifying key features of fovea formation and its relationship to eye shape changes.

The paper presents a chromosome-scale genome assembly for the brown anole, Anolis sagrei, enhancing genomic resources for evolutionary and ecological studies.

The paper examines ocular shape changes during development in two foveated reptiles, finding asymmetric elongation and retraction linked to fovea formation and photoreceptor packing.

This paper provides a detailed histological analysis of anterior eye development in the brown anole, Anolis sagrei, highlighting unique structural features compared to mammals and birds.

The paper investigates Pax6 haploinsufficiency in mice and finds increased TSH-producing cells and altered thyroid hormone levels, suggesting a new role for Pax6 in endocrine development.

This study introduces a method to produce CRISPR-Cas9 induced mutations in Anolis lizards using microinjection of unfertilized oocytes.
