Atlas of adult Danionella fish telencephalon reveals retention of larval characters

The paper creates a detailed neuroanatomical atlas of the adult Danionella telencephalon, revealing larval-like features and demonstrating their functional relevance.

Label-free multiphoton imaging reveals volumetric shifts across development in sensory-related brain regions of a miniature transparent vertebrate

The paper uses label-free multiphoton imaging to track volumetric changes in sensory-related brain regions of Danionella dracula from 5 to 90 days post fertilization.

Whole-brain optical access in small adult vertebrates with two- and three-photon microscopy

This paper demonstrates that two- and three-photon microscopy can access the entire adult Danionella brain without modifications, enabling whole-brain imaging in live adult vertebrates.

To hum or not to hum: Neural transcriptome signature of courtship vocalization in a teleost fish

The paper identifies gene expression signatures in the brain associated with courtship humming in midshipman fish, highlighting circadian-related genes and other molecular pathways involved in vocal behavior.

Gap junction mediated feed-forward inhibition ensures ultra precise temporal patterning in vocal behavior

The paper shows gap junction-mediated feed-forward glycinergic inhibition ensures ultra-precise temporal patterning in vocal behavior of Gulf toadfish.

Preoptic galanin neuron activation is specific to courtship reproductive tactic in fish with two male morphs

The paper investigates the activation of galanin neurons in the preoptic area-anterior hypothalamus during alternative reproductive tactics in midshipman fish, finding specific activation in courting males.

Antioxidant Gene Expression in Vocal Hindbrain of a Teleost Fish

The paper investigates antioxidant gene expression in the vocal hindbrain of midshipman fish, finding no significant differences in sod1 and sod2 transcripts between humming and non-humming males or male morphs.
