Background We have developed genetic methods in zebrafish by using the Tol2 transposable
element; namely, transgenesis, gene trapping, enhancer trapping and the Gal4FF-UAS …

Background Fear conditioning is a form of learning essential for animal survival and used as
a behavioral paradigm to study the mechanisms of learning and memory. In mammals, the …

The visual system plays a major role in food/prey recognition in diurnal animals, and food
intake is regulated by the hypothalamus. However, whether and how visual information about …

Motile cilia are actively beating hair-like structures that cover the surface of multiple epithelia.
The flow that ciliary beating generates is utilized for diverse functions and depends on the …

The cerebellum is involved in some forms of motor coordination and motor learning. Here
we isolated transgenic (Tg) zebrafish lines that express a modified version of Gal4-VP16 (GFF) …

The mammalian amygdala is a complex forebrain structure consisting of a heterogeneous
group of nuclei derived from the pallial and subpallial telencephalon. It plays a critical role in a …

Interhemispheric connections enable interaction and integration of sensory information in
bilaterian nervous systems and are thought to optimize sensory computations. However, the …

Introduction Farmed fish like European seabass (Dicentrarchus labrax) anticipate meals if
these are provided at one or multiple fixed times during the day. The increase in locomotor …

Debaryomyces nepalensis, a halotolerant food-spoiling yeast could grow in complex (YEPD)
medium at different pHs ranging between 3.0 and 11.0 in the absence of salt and at pH 3.0–…

Inhibition or ablation of neuronal activity combined with behavioral assessment is crucial in
identifying neural circuits or populations essential for specific behaviors and to understand …
