Serotonergic Control of Spine Morphology During Growth in Zebrafish

This study shows that serotonergic signaling is critical for spinal stability in zebrafish, with tph2 mutants exhibiting spinal curvature due to neuronal defects before visible curvature appears.

Social modulation of activity and orientation fosters complex interactions in young zebrafish

This study analyzes social behavior in young zebrafish, finding that they exhibit specific proximity preferences and turning biases that shape early social interactions.

Lateral line hair cells integrate mechanical and chemical cues to orient navigation

This study shows zebrafish lateral line hair cells detect serotonin, influencing navigation behavior in response to environmental cues.
