This study investigates the role of usherin in zebrafish sleep regulation, finding altered sleep-wake behavior in ush2a mutants despite normal circadian rhythms and melatonin release.

This study maps transsynaptic connections in zebrafish neural circuits using a modified trans-Tango method and validates findings with optogenetic experiments.

The paper identifies spatially specific neurons in the larval zebrafish telencephalon that form a population code for spatial representation, which can decode spatial location and integrate multiple cues.

This study identifies two distinct quiescent sleep states in larval zebrafish, qREM and qNREM, and challenges the scanning hypothesis for REM sleep origin.

This study investigates how xanomeline, an M1/M4 agonist, affects brain functional connectivity in mice using phMRI, rsfMRI, and qEEG, showing both direct and modulatory effects on neural activity and connectivity.

The paper uses calcium imaging in larval zebrafish to show cerebellar activity predicts motor decision timing and outcome before movement.

The paper develops a dynamic circuit model to explain how heat sensation is transformed into swimming behavior in larval zebrafish.

The paper identifies asymmetric projections of central vestibular neurons in zebrafish and shows how these projections enhance sensory encoding of nose-up stimuli while maintaining gaze stabilization.
