From injury to recovery: Functional neuronal regeneration after traumatic brain injury in the telencephalon of the young adult African turquoise killifish

Valerie Mariën, Caroline Zandecki, Jolien Van houcke, Anouk Maes, Rajagopal Ayana, Chris Van den Haute, Rik Gijsbers, Marialuisa Tognolina, Lut Arckens

This study investigates functional neuronal regeneration after traumatic brain injury in killifish, showing that new neurons integrate into circuits and enable behavioral recovery over 50 days.

Early life growth and cellular heterogeneity in the short-lived African turquoise killifish telencephalon

Caroline Zandecki, Valerie Mariën, Rajagopal Ayana, Jolien Van houcke, Lut Arckens, Eve Seuntjens

This study maps the telencephalon growth and cellular diversity in the African turquoise killifish during early post-embryonic development, identifying dynamic neurogenic niches and spatial differences in growth patterns.

Single-cell sequencing unravels the cellular diversity that shapes neuro- and gliogenesis in the fast aging killifish (N. furzeri) brain

Rajagopal Ayana, Caroline Zandecki, Jolien Van houcke, Valerie Mariën, Eve Seuntjens, Lut Arckens

The paper uses scRNA-seq and ISO-seq to identify cell types in the killifish telencephalon, revealing progenitor diversity and neuronal subtypes involved in neuro- and gliogenesis.

Aging impairs the essential contributions of non-glial progenitors to neurorepair in the dorsal telencephalon of the Killifish N. furzeri

Jolien Van houcke, Valerie Mariën, Caroline Zandecki, Sophie Vanhunsel, Lieve Moons, Rajagopal Ayana, Eve Seuntjens, Lut Arckens

This study shows that aging impairs neurorepair in killifish by reducing non-glial progenitor activity and increasing inflammation and glial scarring.
