This paper identifies Celsr3's role in the development and connectivity of the zebrafish acoustic startle hindbrain circuit, showing its necessity for axon guidance and synaptic formation.

This study identifies a single base pair substitution in the syt7a gene in zebrafish linked to an acoustic startle threshold phenotype but shows it does not cause the observed behavioral changes.

This study identifies cacna2d3 as a gene critical for habituation learning and startle sensitivity in zebrafish, with implications for human CNS disorders.

This study shows that hypomyelination in zebrafish larvae disrupts axonal conduction and behavior, linking myelination to neural circuit function.
