The paper shows that larval zebrafish encode flow direction relative to their center-of-mass in the hindbrain, enabling motor responses to fluid motion.

This study shows noradrenaline prolongs motor arrest through cerebrospinal fluid signaling via Adra1a receptors on ependymal radial glia.

This study shows that zebrafish lateral line hair cells use anion efflux, not cation influx, for mechanotransduction due to low external cation concentrations.

The paper investigates how neural mechanisms in the lateral line system of cavefish evolve, finding that blind cavefish have lower response thresholds and persistent afferent activity during locomotion due to efferent system regression.

The paper develops a model to show how corollary discharge modulates lateral line sensory feedback in larval zebrafish during swimming, preventing habituation and enhancing sensing.

The paper investigates how efferent neurons modulate lateral line afferent activity during and after zebrafish swimming, showing that inhibitory efferents reduce afferent spiking and that this effect persists beyond the active swimming phase.
