A new fully automated in vivo screening system (AISS) has been developed to transform drug evaluation by enabling rapid, precise, and non-invasive multi-organ imaging in zebrafish. Integrating cutting ...

Zebrafish larvae proved ideal for this research: many aspects of their brain structure resemble those found in humans, their genome can be modified to test gene function, and their transparency allows ...

Optic neuropathies including glaucoma, traumatic injury, ischemic damage, and optic neuritis, are the leading causes of irreversible blindness worldwide; however, effective treatments for optic nerve ...

Being right- or left-handed is a familiar fact about yourself you likely don’t think about much on a day-to-day basis. However, your handedness affects how you interact with the world. For many people ...

The targeted manipulation of individual genes in zebrafish larvae changes their behavioral responses to visual stimuli and thus affects the collective behavior of the animals. Individual zebrafish ...

Zebrafish larvae may possess some primitive counting ability just days after hatching. Several animals, including honeybees and salamanders, have been shown to have some form of numerical skill. For ...

Functional eyes are not required for a working circadian clock in zebrafish, as a research team including CNRS scientists has now shown. The work is published in the journal PLOS Genetics. Though it ...
