... of normal brain development. Hypoxia in the larval optic lobe might, in turn, promote proliferation and inhibit terminal differentiation of neurons. Future experiments should reveal whether ambient hyperoxia, or local hyperoxia caused by ectopic tracheolation of the optic lobe, result in altered mitotic...

... for multiple facets of brain development including subsets of serotonergic and dopaminergic neurons. We surveyed hormone gene expression within the hypothalamo-pituitary axis of med12 mutant zebrafish embryos with a focus on oxytocin ( oxt ) expression. Some transcripts, such as oxt , vasopressin ( avp...
