Synapse Formation in the Zebrafish Lateral Line
… partners are matched for synapse formation. The zebrafish lateral line offers the opportunity for greater insight into this process. Hair cells in the lateral-line neuromast exist as two intermingled subpopulations, anteriorly and posteriorly polarized cells. Afferent neurons form synapses with …

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 of the same …

Neuromast Optogenetics Reveals Rules of Spatial Encoding in the Zebrafish Lateral Line
… 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 challenging …

Zebrafish Posterior Lateral Line Organogenesis Regulation by Notch Signaling
… of 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 …

Regulation of the development and regeneration of the zebrafish posterior lateral line
… chemotherapy drugs. Aquatic vertebrates such as zebrafish (Danio rerio) have a specialized 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 …

Decoding Dynamic Gene Regulation in Hair Cell Development and Regeneration
… cells in vertebrates' inner ears and fishes' lateral lines requires an accurate description of the time-lagged relationships between transcription factors and their target genes. Here I describe <em>De</em>picting <em>Lagged</em> Causality (DELAY), a convolutional neural network for the …

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 …
