FishExplorer integrates multimodal brain data from larval zebrafish to enable circuit analysis and hypothesis generation.

The paper presents a connectomic dataset of a larval zebrafish brain, enabling circuit analysis through synaptic and neuronal annotations.

The paper identifies a spinal motor circuit in zebrafish larvae that mediates hypoxia-evoked pectoral fin movements by linking hypoxia detection to motor output through cholinergic spinal motor neurons.

The paper shows that heart rate changes influence behavior and brain activity in larval zebrafish, with specific brain regions encoding heart rate signals.

The paper uses correlative light and electron microscopy to identify synaptic motifs in larval zebrafish that support visual motion processing.

This study shows that sleep disruption improves performance in visual and olfactory decision-making tasks in larval zebrafish by increasing reaction times and correct decisions.

The paper develops a multi-species brain atlas platform for comparative neuroscience in teleost fish, revealing species-specific neural structures and enabling gene expression and activity comparisons.

The paper identifies two enhancers critical for TAAR gene expression in olfactory sensory neurons and shows they operate in cis to regulate gene choice.

This study shows zebrafish larvae detect salt gradients using olfactory receptor neurons that sense monovalent ions, avoiding high salinity environments.

The paper shows social isolation activates an oxytocinergic circuit in larval zebrafish that modulates both defensive and feeding behaviors through chemical cues.

The paper mutates zebrafish orthologues of schizophrenia-associated genes to identify phenotypic candidates and shared functions.
