The paper identifies Relaxin-3-expressing neurons in the zebrafish PAG that are activated by darkness and contribute to behavioral responses.

This study identifies Cochlin as an extracellular matrix protein produced in brain barriers that enhances immune defence against bacterial infection in zebrafish.

The paper characterizes ionocyte subtypes in zebrafish olfactory epithelium, identifying three types with distinct functions and distributions.

This study evaluates kalium channelrhodopsins (KCRs) as optogenetic inhibitors in Drosophila, C. elegans, and zebrafish, showing they are effective and have improved properties compared to chloride-conducting ACRs.

The paper identifies potential astrocytes in the zebrafish brain, proposing they are olig2 subtype astrocytes based on transcriptomic and immunohistochemical evidence.

The paper shows that the habenula clock modulates circadian variation in danger prediction, affecting anxiety-like responses to alarm pheromones in zebrafish.

The paper identifies a rare olfactory rod cell type in larval zebrafish with an actin-rich apical projection, distinct from known olfactory sensory neurons and other sensory cells.

The paper investigates neural circuits in zebrafish larvae responding to a chemosensory danger cue, identifying brain regions involved in state transitions and their potential role in stress-related disorders.

The paper identifies GABAergic neurons in the zebrafish lateral habenula that may inhibit its activity, with evidence from immunohistochemistry, tracing, and electrophysiology.

The paper analyzes two-photon calcium imaging data from larval zebrafish habenula and finds percolation and subcritical neuronal avalanches, suggesting long-range spatial correlations and potential dynamical flexibility.

This study tests the use of GtACR1 and GtACR2 anion channelrhodopsins in zebrafish to optically inhibit neurons and assess neural circuit necessity.

The paper identifies a thalamic nucleus that mediates habenula responses to changes in illumination using calcium imaging and optogenetics in zebrafish.

This study shows blue light masks circadian behavior in larval zebrafish via a thalamo-habenula pathway, while red light does not.

This study shows that zebrafish recover from fear more effectively when with familiar companions, as evidenced by reduced fear behaviors, lower cortisol, and increased isotocin.
