This study shows that group III mGluR-mediated inhibition in the habenula regulates sensory processing and defensive behaviors in zebrafish and mice.

The paper characterizes motile ciliated cells in zebrafish brain ventricles, showing their developmental origins, functional roles in CSF flow, and impact on ventricular morphology.

This study shows HSV-1 infection causes structural disassembly and functional deregulation in neurons through altered protein homeostasis and reduced spine scaffolding proteins.

This study shows that habenular neurons develop sequentially, with their functional properties determined by their birthdate during development.
