In larval zebrafish, 68% of 81 traced serotonergic dorsal raphe neurons target only one of telencephalon and spinal cord; stress in week 1, not week 2, raised telencephalic fiber density.

This study shows that stress intensity determines serotonergic involvement in anxiety, with higher stress leading to DRN-independent anxiety and dopaminergic modulation.

This study shows that early life chronic stress disrupts DRN serotonergic activity, particularly in vulnerable GABAergic cells, leading to specific behavioral impairments.

This study identifies oxygen limitation as the mechanism causing brain dysfunction during warming in larval zebrafish, showing CTmax precedes global brain depolarization.

The paper shows that interhemispheric connections in zebrafish olfactory bulbs enhance odor detection by modulating neural responses to pheromones in complex environments.
