Zebrafish Posterior Lateral Line Organogenesis Regulation by Notch Signaling
… rosette‐shaped sensory organs in the zebrafish lateral line system. Notch cell autonomously induces apical constriction and cell adhesion downstream of Fgf signaling and organizes lateral line organs into rosettes independent of patterning cues normally provided by a Wnt/Fgf signaling system. We …

Regulation of the development and regeneration of the zebrafish posterior lateral line
… class of mechanosensory hair cells found in the lateral line (LL) system, allowing them to sense changes in water current. Unlike mammalian inner ear hair cells, zebrafish lateral line hair cells can robustly regenerate following damage throughout the life of the animal. Our work focuses on …

The Reinnervation of Sensory Hair Cells Following Lesion of the Lateral Line Cranial Nerve
… of the inner ear. Alternatively, the zebrafish lateral line, a mechanosensory organ system unique to fishes and amphibians that detects external water flow, offers a simple and accessible model for studying the mechanisms of axon pathfinding and target selection. The posterior portion of the …

Synaptic Specificity in the Zebrafish Lateral Line
… how synaptic specificity arises. The posterior lateral-line organ of larval zebrafish consists of polarized hair cells organized in discrete clusters known as neuromasts. Here I show that each afferent neuron of the posterior lateral line establishes specific contacts with hair cells …

THE IN-VIVO IMPACT OF SMPX MUTATIONS DURING DEVELOPMENT AND DISEASE
… mechanosensory hair cells of both anterior and posterior lateral line. The protein was localized throughout the cytoplasm of such cells and, as opposed to inner ear hair cells, also in the primary cilium. Loss-of-function experiments revealed that the lack of Smpx leads to fewer neuromast …

Neuromast Optogenetics Reveals Rules of Spatial Encoding in the Zebrafish Lateral Line
… this performance. In this study, I use the posterior lateral line (pLL) of larval zebrafish to address this question. In the wild, the pLL must differentiate among a variety of hydrodynamic stimuli. However, understanding how fish distinguish between different water-flow stimuli has been …

DISPERSAL MECHANISMS OF EMBRYONIC AND LARVAL BURBOT (LOTA LOTA)
… role in dispersal. The developmental timeline of dispersal mechanisms in burbot (<em>Lota lota</em>) larvae is crucial to understanding where they may settle in the Laurentian Great Lakes. Wild <em>L. lota</em> gametes were collected from Lake Superior tributaries and fertilized. <em>L. …
