This study identifies monoamine-targeting compounds that rescue neurexin-related behavioral phenotypes in C. elegans and Drosophila, with olanzapine showing broad efficacy across genetic backgrounds.

This study links the schizophrenia risk gene znf804a to circadian behaviors in zebrafish by showing altered gene expression and transcript processing in mutants.

StrIPETrack is a Python-based tracking software for zebrafish behavior that supports flexible ROI definitions and complex assays, providing accurate and detailed behavioral phenotyping.

The paper identifies dysregulation of cholesterol metabolism as a shared molecular consequence of schizophrenia risk mutations in zebrafish models.

The paper inserts rare autism variants in C. elegans synaptic genes and assesses their functional impact on behavior, revealing complex effects including loss and gain of function.
