The paper characterizes four existing and three new transgenic lines in larval zebrafish to label reticulospinal neurons and other brainstem neurons, providing genetic access for functional studies.

The paper shows that vsx gene mutation in zebrafish causes bipolar cell depletion and visual impairment but maintains neural retina specification, highlighting genetic redundancy and network robustness.

This study shows that early-life social isolation in larval zebrafish increases social avoidance behaviors, mediated by the lateral line sensory system.
