Cilia-mediated cerebrospinal fluid flow modulates neuronal and astroglial activity in the zebrafish larval brain.

This study investigates the role of cilia-mediated cerebrospinal fluid flow in zebrafish larval brain physiology, finding that cilia paralysis disrupts brain asymmetry and astroglial activity.

Elevated photic response is followed by a rapid decay and depressed state in ictogenic networks

The paper compares zebrafish epilepsy models to identify conserved and divergent features of neural and behavioral activity, finding that photic stimulation reliably evokes seizures with a characteristic depressed state.

Loss of glutamate transporter eaat2a leads to aberrant neuronal excitability, recurrent epileptic seizures and hypoactivity

This study shows that loss of eaat2a in zebrafish causes seizures and reduced neuronal activity due to glutamate imbalance.
