Genome sequencing has yielded a plethora of new genes the function of which can be
unravelled through comparative genomic approaches. Increasingly, developmental …

At birth or after hatching from the egg, vertebrate brains still contain neural stem cells which
reside in specialized niches. In some cases, these stem cells are deployed for further …

Our understanding of the cellular and molecular mechanisms underlying the adult neural
stem cell state remains fragmentary. To provide new models on this issue, we searched for …

Many vertebrates are efficient hunters and recognize their prey by innate neural
mechanisms. During prey capture, the internal representation of the prey's location must be …

Adult neurogenesis has been identified in all vertebrate species examined thus far.
However, an evolutionary trend towards a reduction in both the number of proliferation …

Teleost fish are distinguished by their ability to constitutively generate new neurons in the
adult central nervous system ('adult neurogenesis'), and to regenerate whole neurons after …

The CRISPR/Cas9 system has been used to generate fluorescently labelled fusion proteins
by homology-directed repair in a variety of species. Despite its revolutionary success, there …

In the adult teleost brain, proliferating cells are observed in a broad area, while these cells
have a restricted distribution in adult mammalian brains. In the adult teleost optic tectum …

Teleost fish have a remarkable neurogenic and regenerative capacity in the adult
throughout the rostrocaudal axis of the brain. The distribution of proliferation zones shows a …

Neural stem and progenitor cells (NSPCs) are the primary source of new neurons in the
brain and serve critical roles in tissue homeostasis and plasticity throughout life. Within the …
