A great challenge in neuroscience is understanding how activity in the brain gives rise to
behavior. The zebrafish is an ideal vertebrate model to address this challenge, thanks to the …

Zebrafish are a unique cell to behavior model for studying the basic biology of human
inherited neurological conditions. Conserved vertebrate genetics and optical transparency …

When a behavior repeatedly fails to achieve its goal, animals often give up and become
passive, which can be strategic for preserving energy or regrouping between attempts. It is …

In order to localize the neural circuits involved in generating behaviors, it is necessary to
assign activity onto anatomical maps of the nervous system. Using brain registration across …

The role of serotonin (5-HT) in sleep is controversial: early studies suggested a sleep-
promoting role, but eventually the paradigm shifted toward a wake-promoting function for the …

Slow-wave sleep and rapid eye movement (or paradoxical) sleep have been found in
mammals, birds and lizards, but it is unclear whether these neuronal signatures are found in …

Abstract Repeated Wi-Fi studies show that Wi-Fi causes oxidative stress, sperm/testicular
damage, neuropsychiatric effects including EEG changes, apoptosis, cellular DNA damage …

Ancient DNA research has been revolutionized following development of next-generation
sequencing platforms. Although a number of such platforms have been applied to ancient …

Jellyfish are radially symmetric organisms without a brain that arose more than 500 million
years ago. They achieve organismal behaviors through coordinated interactions between …

Retinal ganglion cells (RGCs) form an array of feature detectors, which convey visual
information to central brain regions. Characterizing RGC diversity is required to understand …
