The lateral-line system is a simple sensory system comprising a number of discrete sense
organs, the neuromasts, distributed over the body of fish and amphibians in species-specific …

Fishes are able to detect and perceive the hydrodynamic and physical environment they
inhabit and process this sensory information to guide the resultant behaviour through their …

The zebrafish is a premier model organism yet lacks a system for assigning postembryonic
fish to developmental stages. To provide such a staging series, we describe postembryonic …

Teleosts are the largest and most diverse group of vertebrates, and many species undergo
morphological, physiological, and behavioral transitions,“metamorphoses,” as they progress …

Brainstem reticulospinal neurons (RSNs) serve as the major descending system in
vertebrate sensorimotor integration. One of the paired RSNs in zebrafish, the Mauthner (M) …

In teleosts, the lateral line system is composed of neuromasts containing hair cells that are
analogous to those present in the inner ear of all vertebrates. In the zebrafish embryo and …

Fish are able to perceive the surrounding weak flow and pressure variations with their
mechanosensory lateral line system, which consists of a superficial lateral line for flow …

Morphological, physiological, behavioral, and developmental studies of the
mechanosensory lateral line system are used to define sources of morphological and …

The lateral line organ is a mechanosensory organ of fish and amphibians that detects
changes in water flow. The lateral line organ of zebrafish has been used as a model for cell …

Shortly after larval zebrafish become free swimming their behavior is modulated by both
autochthonous signals and external stimuli. Larvae show rapid responses to a range of …
