The paper identifies conserved GABAergic neurons in zebrafish and mouse lateral hypothalamus that respond to growth hormone and food cues, revealing a shared mechanism for appetite regulation.

This study maps transsynaptic connections in zebrafish neural circuits using a modified trans-Tango method and validates findings with optogenetic experiments.

The paper shows that a cleaved cytosolic FOXG1 enhances mitochondrial translation and promotes excitatory neurogenesis, offering a new therapeutic target for mitochondrial disorders.

The paper identifies two distinct neuronal clusters in the zebrafish nucleus incertus with different connectivity and functional properties using CRISPR/Cas9 and calcium imaging.

The paper identifies a specialized neural circuit in zebrafish that mediates aversive olfactory responses, showing asymmetric roles of the right habenula.
