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

This study uses computational modeling and experiments to show that cilia drive advection of large particles while diffusion is key for small solute transport in brain ventricles.

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

This study identifies ABCA7-dependent neuropeptide Y signaling as a resilience mechanism critical for synaptic integrity and its disruption as a risk factor for Alzheimer's disease.

This study investigates the role of cilia-mediated cerebrospinal fluid flow in zebrafish larval brain physiology, finding that cilia paralysis disrupts brain asymmetry and astroglial activity.

This study identifies Foxj1's role in regulating olfactory cilia formation and OSN differentiation in zebrafish and mice.

This study identifies the zebrafish choroid plexus as evolutionarily conserved and critical for maintaining brain ventricle size and homeostasis through CSF secretion and transport.

This study shows that losing cilia after neurulation in zebrafish affects brain development and reduces neuronal activity.

The paper compares zebrafish epilepsy models to identify conserved and divergent features of neural and behavioral activity, finding that photic stimulation reliably evokes seizures with a characteristic depressed state.

This study shows that loss of eaat2a in zebrafish causes seizures and reduced neuronal activity due to glutamate imbalance.

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

The paper investigates glia-neuron interactions during seizure transitions in zebrafish, finding that glial activity precedes and influences neuronal activity during seizures.
