Animals possess specialized networks of neurons in the brain that receive signals about the outside world from the retina and respond by initiating appropriate behavior. Researchers at the Max Planck ...

A humble fish can experience features of mental health conditions such as schizophrenia and autism, raising the possibility that some of our most complex social behaviors may be more deeply encoded in ...

A body-wide imaging method recorded calcium communication from nearly every cell in a living larval zebrafish, revealing ...

A novel system developed by Janelia researchers that chases larval zebrafish around an arena with predator robots is enabling scientists to understand how these days-old fish quickly learn in the real ...

Zebrafish are smaller than your little finger, with a brain no more than half the size of a pinhead. Yet these animals possess an efficient navigation system that enables them to find their way back ...

The decades-old anesthetic ketamine could be a game changer for treating severe depression, but there are still many questions about how the drug works, including exactly how it affects the brain's ...

The zebrafish brain, though simpler than its human counterpart, is a complex network of neurons that engage in a ceaseless dance of electrical activity. What if this neural ballet could reveal the ...

A new review argues that the optically transparent zebrafish offers a uniquely powerful translational model for decoding how ...

Using a virtual reality setup, the team fixed a larval zebrafish fish in place and showed it different visual patterns. The first 10 seconds show the fish at rest. When the fish sees a pattern ...

Learn more about nanoplastics and how easily they can get into the bloodstream of zebrafish, resulting in buildup in the brain and reproductive organs. According to Stanford Medicine, microplastics ...

A new study published in Nature suggests that the neural foundations of spatial navigation—the brain's internal "GPS"—may have emerged far earlier in evolution than previously believed. The research, ...
