The paper identifies molecular clusters of quiescent neural stem cells in zebrafish and shows how Notch signaling inhibition leads to distinct activation behaviors.

The paper uses zebrafish single-cell transcriptomics to study macroglia evolution and adult neurogenesis, identifying conserved features and functional origins of astrocytes and radial glia-like cells.

The paper investigates the dynamics of adult neural stem cells in zebrafish, showing a hierarchical organization with reservoir and operational stem cells and an upstream progenitor population supporting long-term neurogenesis.
