The functioning of the nervous system depends upon the underlying detailed and highly
stereotyped patterns of neuronal connectivity. How these precise patterns of synaptic …

Neurogenesis in the developing central nervous system consists of the induction and
proliferation of neural progenitor cells and their subsequent differentiation into mature …

We describe a series of stages for development of the embryo of the zebrafish, Danio
(Brachydanio) rerio. We define seven broad periods of embryogenesis—the zygote …

<< Zebrafish hit the big time»: This title of a recent commentary in Science (Kahn, 1994)
reflects the growing importance of a new model organism for developmental research, the …

Using axonal tracers, we characterized the neurons projecting from the brain to the spinal
cord as well as the terminal fields of ascending spinal projections in the brain of adult …

The zebrafish is a leading model for studies of vertebrate development and genetics. Its
embryonic motor behaviors are easy to assess (eg for mutagenic screens), the embryos …

HuC encodes an RNA binding protein homologous to Drosophila elav that serves as an
excellent early marker for differentiating neurons. We have characterized the promoter of the …

We describe analysis of zebrafish distal-less-related homeobox genes that may serve as
specifiers of positional information in anterior regions of the CNS and in peripheral …

Over the past few years, a number of studies have described the generation of transgenic
lines of zebrafish in which expression of reporters was driven by a variety of promoters …

Myelination, the process by which glial cells ensheath and electrically insulate axons, has
been investigated intensely. Nevertheless, knowledge of how myelination is regulated or …
