Using simulations, robots, and live fish, scientists at EPFL and Duke University have replicated the neural circuitry that allows zebrafish to react to visual stimuli and maintain their position in ...

Using zebrafish larvae as a model organism, researchers investigated the cooperative mechanisms between the eyes and the brain that underlie visual function restoration following optic nerve injury.

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, ...

Melatonin is a naturally produced molecule that has long been suspected to play a role in healthy sleep, but it has been unclear how it does so. Now, Caltech researchers have discovered a mechanism ...

Working with week-old zebrafish larva, researchers at Weill Cornell Medicine and colleagues decoded how the connections formed by a network of neurons in the brainstem guide the fishes' gaze. The ...

Using simulations, robots, and live fish, scientists have replicated the neural circuitry that allows zebrafish to react to visual stimuli and maintain their position in flowing water. (Nanowerk News) ...
