In our previous studies, it was found that graphene oxide (GO) reduced the endocrine disruption of bisphenol A (BPA) in zebrafish embryo and larvae, but through different mechanisms. In this study, adult male zebrafish were selected to further unders...
We present a protocol to characterize the morphological properties of individual neurons reconstructed from microscopic imaging. We first describe a simple procedure to extract relevant morphological features from digital tracings of neural arbors. T...
The untethered miniature swimming robot actuation and control is difficult as the robot size becomes smaller, due to limitations of feasible miniaturized on-board components. Nature provides much inspiration for developing miniature robot. Here, a ne...
Currently, the potential applications of polydopamine (PDA) nanoparticles in the biomedical field are being extensively studied, such as cell internalization, biocompatible surface modification, biological imaging, nano-drug delivery, cancer diagnosi...
Inference of action potentials ('spikes') from neuronal calcium signals is complicated by the scarcity of simultaneous measurements of action potentials and calcium signals ('ground truth'). In this study, we compiled a large, diverse ground truth da...

Zebrafish (Danio rerio) are rapidly emerging in biomedicine as promising tools for disease modelling and drug discovery. The use of zebrafish for neuroscience research is also growing rapidly, necessitating novel reliable and unbiased methods of neur...
There are currently 85,000 chemicals registered with the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) under the Toxic Substances Control Act, but only a small fraction have measured toxicological data. To address this gap, high-throughput screening (HTS) an...
In this work, we aim to construct a new behavior analysis method by using machine learning. We used two cameras to capture three-dimensional (3D) tracking data of zebrafish, which were analyzed using fuzzy adaptive resonance theory (FuzzyART), a type...
Zebrafish is a powerful and widely-used model system for a host of biological investigations, including cardiovascular studies and genetic screening. Zebrafish are readily assessable during developmental stages; however, the current methods for quant...

The neuronal networks that generate locomotion are well understood in swimming animals such as the lamprey, zebrafish and tadpole. The networks controlling locomotion in tetrapods remain, however, still enigmatic with an intricate motor pattern requi...
