Brain circuits for vision develop without any kind of input from the retina in zebrafish. Animals possess specialized networks of neurons in the brain that receive signals about the outside world from ...

Zebrafish photoreceptor cells stimulated with blue light show correct electrical activity. The picture was taken using the microscope that was custom-built for this study. Blinding diseases lead to ...

Microglia, the immune cells of the brain, form the first line of defense against neurogenerative diseases and traumatic brain injuries. However, questions surrounding how the precursors of microglia ...

A unique oral drug candidate that is shown to restore vision and regenerate the retina in an animal model, addressing a major unmet need in ocular therapeutics The study utilized the Sen57wrn-/-ND6-/+ ...

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. - A Purdue University student's research project related to zebrafish eye development could lead to a better understanding of vision problems that affect billions of people ...

The ability of some animals to dynamically change color to match the brightness of their surroundings is one of nature's great survival tools, allowing flatfish to blend into sandy seabeds, frogs to ...

Zebrafish eyes are similar to ours. We share all the major structures, such as a single lens to focus light, a retina with photoreceptor cells to detect light, and a liquid-filled cavity between the ...
