A Moving Target Detection Model Inspired by Spatio-Temporal Information Accumulation of Avian Tectal Neurons

open access: yesMathematics, 2023
Moving target detection in cluttered backgrounds is always considered a challenging problem for artificial visual systems, but it is an innate instinct of many animal species, especially the avian.

Evaluating the Validity of Model Organisms: A Review and a New Framework for Biologists

open access: yesThe FASEB Journal, Volume 40, Issue 17, 15 September 2026.
This article provides an overview on model organisms and proposes a new framework for assessing the extent to which it is justified to generalize the results obtained from a given organism. It covers both studies of human diseases and those focused on general biological processes. The first part of the article is a review on model organisms.

Mapping neurogenesis onset in the optic tectum of Xenopus laevis. [PDF]

open access: yesDev Neurobiol, 2016
Neural progenitor cells have a central role in the development and evolution of the vertebrate brain. During early brain development, neural progenitors first expand their numbers through repeated proliferative divisions and then begin to exhibit ...

Enhanced spontaneous polarization in directional interlayer sliding γ‐InSe for self‐powered, all‐day visual adaptation and motion perception

open access: yesInfoMat, Volume 8, Issue 9, September 2026.
This study develops a retinal‐inspired optoelectronic sensor based on two‐dimensional γ‐InSe, wherein engineered interlayer sliding enhanced spontaneous polarization. The system utilizes the photo‐pyroelectric effect to simulate the snake's all‐day visual function.

First Description of Larval Hirstiosoma novaehollandiae Womersley, 1936 (Prostigmata, Smarididae) With Redescription of Postlarval Instars and Phylogenetic Placement

open access: yesNew Zealand Journal of Zoology, Volume 53, Issue 3, September 2026.
Hirstiosoma novaehollandiae Womersley, 1936 is redescribed based on three males, deutonymph, and larva, which is described for the first time. These specimens were collected from leaf litter near Thames municipality, Waikato Region, New Zealand. Conspecificity between larval and postlarval stages was confirmed by means of cytochrome oxidase I barcoding.

3D anatomical atlas of the heads of male and female adult Chamaeleo calyptratus

open access: yesThe Anatomical Record, Volume 309, Issue 8, Page 1937-1969, August 2026.
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.

Histological Study on Optic Tectum in Hemida ctylus Flaviviridis

open access: yesIbn Al-Haitham Journal for Pure and Applied Sciences, 2017
  A histological study was conducted to examine the structure of optic tectum in Hemidactylus flaviviridis. The results showed that the optic tectum consists of fourteen strata organized in three zones. The deep zone which extends from the first stratum

Subcellular localization of class I histone deacetylases in the developing Xenopus tectum

open access: yesFrontiers in Cellular Neuroscience, 2016
Histone deacetylases (HDACs) are thought to localize in the nucleus to regulate gene transcription and play pivotal roles in neurogenesis, apoptosis and plasticity.

Fish welfare in a changing world: New developments and current challenges

open access: yesJournal of Fish Biology, Volume 109, Issue 2, Page 650-692, August 2026.
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 ...

A dedicated visual pathway for prey detection in larval zebrafish

open access: yeseLife, 2014
Zebrafish larvae show characteristic prey capture behavior in response to small moving objects. The neural mechanism used to recognize objects as prey remains largely unknown.
