Calcium-binding proteins (CaBPs) are members of a heterogeneous family of proteins able to buffer intracellular Ca2+ ion concentration. CaBPs are expressed in the central and peripheral nervous system, including a subpopulation of retinal neurons.

Acid-Sensing Ion Channels in Zebrafish
The ASICs, in mammals as in fish, control deviations from the physiological values of extracellular pH, and are involved in mechanoreception, nociception, or taste receptions. They are widely expressed in the central and peripheral nervous system.

A key challenge for identifying cellular bases of cognitive functions is to distinguish the contributions of different cell subtypes within complex circuits in a brain. Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) can reflect what brain areas are activated and electrophysiological recording can record neural activities adjacent to the electrodes, but ...

Micro- and nano-plastic (MP/NP) pollution represents a threat not only to marine organisms and ecosystems, but also a danger for humans. The effects of these small particles resulting from the fragmentation of waste of various types have been well ...

Magnetosensation in zebrafish [PDF]
AbstractMany species, from bacteria to vertebrates, have been reported to use the geomagnetic field as a major cue for oriented short and long range migration [1–10], but the molecular nature of the underlying receptor has remained elusive. One of the main reasons may be that past attempts to train animals to respond to magnetic stimuli proved ...

The purpose and function of sleep has been the topic of discussion for several centuries. Though our understanding of the mechanisms underlying the propagation and maintenance of rest states has undergone significant improvement, much remains to be learned with regards to the effects of disrupted sleep on diseased states.
