Spring 2012
The escape response in zebrafish is mediated in part by the Mauthner cell and its two homologues, MiD2cm and MiD3cm. In adult fish, the Mauthner cell fires a single action potential when activated while the homologues fire multiple action potentials. Their distinct firing properties are partially...

Zebrafish embryos exposed to alcohol undergo abnormal development of motor neurons and muscle fibers
DownloadFall 2009
Children with Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder have significantly delayed motor skills, and deficiencies in reflex development. The reasons underlying these motor deficits are not fully understood. The purpose of this thesis was to investigate the effect of embryonic exposure to ethanol (EtOH) on...

Zic transcription factors regulate retinoic acid metabolism during zebrafish neural development
DownloadSpring 2012
Retinoic acid (RA) has a crucial role in embryonic nervous system development - controlling anterior-posterior patterning, neural differentiation, and cell proliferation. During zebrafish embryogenesis, levels of RA are tightly regulated by the combinatorial action of synthesis and degradation...
