Dendritic spines are the principal site of excitatory synapse formation in the human brain. Several neurodevelopmental disorders cause spines to develop abnormally, resulting in altered spine number and morphology.

Notch receptor expression in the adult zebrafish optic tectum. [PDF]
Cross-sections at the indicated level through the mesencephalon; optic tectum area shown in the micrographs is indicated in the cross section schematic in A. Brighfield images show the expression (by ISH) of A, notch1a, B, notch1b and C, notch3 along the

ABSTRACT Endocrine‐disrupting chemicals (EDCs), such as 17α‐ethinylestradiol (EE2), have raised concerns about their potential effects on aquatic organisms, particularly during early developmental stages. In this context, the study of behavioral disruption has gained considerable attention, as it may have consequences on individual fitness and ...

Mapping of the receptive fields in the optic tectum of chicken (Gallus gallus) using sparse noise. [PDF]
The optic tectum plays a key role in visual processing in birds. While the input from the retina is topographic in the superficial layers, the deep layers project to the thalamic nucleus rotundus in a functional topographical manner.

Fish welfare in a changing world: New developments and current challenges
Abstract The welfare of non‐human animals is central to ethical discussions on animal use, with increasing attention to fish welfare across research, aquaria, aquaculture, and fisheries. This paper reviews current theoretical approaches to animal welfare and recent advances in defining and assessing fish welfare since the seminal paper by Huntingford ...

Matrix metalloproteinase 14 in the zebrafish: an eye on retinal and retinotectal development. [PDF]
Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) are members of the metzincin superfamily of proteinases that cleave structural elements of the extracellular matrix and many molecules involved in signal transduction.

3D anatomical atlas of the heads of male and female adult Chamaeleo calyptratus
The veiled chameleon is a model organism in reptile development research. Utilizing contrast‐enhanced microCT and deep learning segmentation models, we have generated the first digital atlases of the skull, nervous system, cranial muscles and hyolingual muscles.

Chick PTPσ regulates the targeting of retinal axons within the optic tectum [PDF]
Chick PTP (cPTP), also known as CRYP, is a receptor-like protein tyrosine phosphatase found on axons and growth cones. Putative ligands for cPTP are distributed within basement membranes and on glial end feet of the retina, optic nerve, and optic tectum,
