He and his colleagues had done it with a sci-fi-worthy experiment that recorded every blip of brain activity in a transparent baby ... on the eyelash-size baby zebrafish landed with a whale ...

The zebrafish is a good research stand-in for its fellow vertebrate, the human, because the two have many parts in common: brain ... Because embryos are transparent and develop outside the ...

Because zebrafish are transparent, the scientists can watch the sparkling activity of most of the 100,000 neurons in the animal’s brain. The patterns of flashes are giving them new insights into ...

“In this system where we record from the whole brain, we might start to understand what those rules are.” While it’s not yet clear whether insights gleaned from studies on fish will translate to other ...

Scientists at the University of Edinburgh are using the small minnow fish to study how MS damages the protective coating ...

The zebrafish brain has an outstanding regenerative ability, which also manifests after neurodegenerative disease-like conditions. Dr. Caghan Kizil and colleagues generated an Alzheimer's disease ...

The researchers reached the result by studying optically transparent zebrafish over multiple sleep-wake cycles. Also read: ...

The splendid colour of the adult fish starts to appear from the third week; the zebrafish larvae, in contrast, are almost completely transparent. Using microscopes, researchers can therefore look into ...

Michael Barresi’s research interests are focused on how glial cells help wire the nervous system in the embryonic zebrafish brain. His lab discovered that ... Additionally, zebrafish embryos are ...

In vertebrates, neurons in the spinal cord help generate movements and are modulated by inputs from the brain. We use zebrafish, a tiny, transparent vertebrate to study motor coordination. Spinal ...

Zebrafish are unassuming and undemanding. Almost every child knows that – at least any child that has kept fish in an aquarium. Since the beginning of the 20th century, these fish have been one of the ...
