该团队对自由游动幼年斑马鱼进行了全脑成像，发现了微小幼虫斑马鱼大脑存在位置细胞的证据，揭示了硬骨鱼脑中空间信息的功能特性和解剖分布。与编码方向和速度的细胞相比，多数位置细胞位于斑马鱼前脑中端脑区域，但其确切功能是争论的焦点。端脑中位置细胞的高浓度或证实了长期以来的猜想，即该大脑区域是缩小的哺乳动物海马体的功能类似物。这些位置编码神经元可以用来解码动物随时间变化的空间位置。通过将这一群体编码投射到二 ...

This manuscript provides important new insight into the mechanisms underlying seasonal physiology, using medaka fish as a functional genetic model that naturally exhibits photoperiodic responses. The ...

During fetal development, the diencephalon arises from the anterior vesicle of the neural tube that also gives rise to the prosencephalon and telencephalon. The diencephalon is divided into four ...

Furthermore, Tcf4 functions as a suppressor of astrocyte fate during the differentiation of oligodendrocyte precursor cells derived from the ventral telencephalon, thereby restricting the fate to the ...

Left-right asymmetries in the zebrafish habenular nuclei are dependent upon the formation of the parapineal, a unilateral group of neurons that arise from the medially positioned pineal complex. In ...
