The ventral habenulae of zebrafish develop in prosomere 2 dependent on Tcf7l2 function [PDF]
, 2013 BACKGROUND: The conserved habenular neural circuit relays cognitive information from the forebrain into the ventral mid- and hindbrain. In zebrafish, the bilaterally formed habenulae in the dorsal diencephalon are made up of the asymmetric dorsal and ...

Alpha‐2‐adrenoreceptor agonists as analgesic drugs in equine medicine
Equine Veterinary Education, EarlyView.Summary Managing pain in horses is challenging despite the availability of nonsteroidal anti‐inflammatory drugs, local anaesthetics, opioids and α2‐adrenoreceptor agonists. While α2‐agonists are widely used for sedation and restraint, their analgesic properties remain underutilised.

The raphe nuclear organization and serotonergic system in the bat (Artibeus planirostris)
Journal of Anatomy, EarlyView.Schematic representation of the methodological workflow used to characterize the serotonergic (5‐HT) system in the bat Artibeus planirostris. Serotonin (5‐HT) immunohistochemistry was performed on brainstem sections to identify and map the distribution of serotonergic neurons within the raphe nuclei.

Down-regulation of habenular calcium-dependent secretion activator 2 induces despair-like behavior
Scientific Reports, 2021 Calcium-dependent secretion activator 2 (CAPS2) regulates the trafficking and exocytosis of neuropeptide-containing dense-core vesicles (DCVs). CAPS2 is prominently expressed in the medial habenula (MHb), which is related to depressive behavior; however,

Postnatal interaction of size and shape in the human endocranium and brain structures
Journal of Anatomy, Volume 248, Issue 3, Page 395-411, March 2026.Ancestral egg‐laying Sceloporus had dorsoventrally tall female pelvises. Two of three live‐bearing clades evolved larger bodies and flatter, wider pelvises, likely reflecting relaxed allometric limits and selection for crypsis or thermoregulation in terrestrial habitats.

The role of the habenula in drug addiction
Frontiers in Human Neuroscience, 2014 Interest in the habenula has greatly increased in recent years. The habenula is a small brain structure located posterior to the thalamus and adjacent to the third ventricle.

Evolutionary plasticity of habenular asymmetry with a conserved efferent connectivity pattern. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 The vertebrate habenulae (Hb) is an evolutionary conserved dorsal diencephalic nuclear complex that relays information from limbic and striatal forebrain regions to the ventral midbrain.

Enhanced characterization of the zebrafish brain as revealed by super-resolution track-density imaging [PDF]
, 2013 In this study, we explored the use of super-resolution track-density imaging (TDI) for neuroanatomical characterization of the adult zebrafish brain. We compared the quality of image contrast and resolution obtained with T-2* magnetic resonance imaging ...

Characterization of the brain functional architecture of psychostimulant withdrawal using single-cell whole brain imaging [PDF]
, 2019 Numerous brain regions have been identified as contributing to addiction-like behaviors, but unclear is the way in which these brain regions as a whole lead to addiction.
