Scientists Discover That a Molecule Has Been Spreading Emotions for Millions of Years
According to a recent study, fish copy emotions just like humans. And the responsible molecule is oxytocin. When an individual flashes a smile at us,…

Texas A&M biologist Alex Keene and his team used variant-to-gene mapping, a predictive genomics approach, to demonstrate that the gene Pig-Q plays a role in…
A multiregional hindbrain circuit enables animals to regain their pathing after deviating from it. A zebrafish heads toward its target, but strong currents push it…
To learn to socialize, zebrafish need to trust their gut. Gut microbes encourage specialized cells to prune back extra connections in brain circuits that control…
Researchers have found that oxytocin, sometimes known as the “love hormone,” may one day help heal damaged hearts after a heart attack. The neurohormone oxytocin is…
Zebrafish experiments demonstrate how vulnerable freshwater and marine species may be impacted by climate change. When the climate changes, which organisms survive and which die?…
A study demonstrates how transcription factors support cell regeneration. Researchers at the National Institutes of Health have identified a particular protein network that is necessary…
Zebrafish may repair heart tissue after injury, according to research conducted by the MDC team under the direction of Jan Philipp Junker and Daniela Panáková….
Recently discovered ‘single-pixel vision’ in fish could help researchers understand how humans are able to spot tiny details in their environment — like stars in…
Whether a worm, a human, or a blue whale, all multicellular life begins as a single-celled egg. From this solitary cell emerges the galaxy of…
A research team headed by scientists of Helmholtz Zentrum München and the Technical University of Munich (TUM) has published a new model in ‘Nature Communications’…
By studying miR-107 in zebrafish, Yale researchers have discovered that miR-107 plays a key role in early brain development, and perhaps in the development of…
A new study from the Max Planck Institute for Medical Research reveals how the eye of a zebrafish larva can already distinguish between prey and…
Scientists at the Max Planck Institute have discovered how pigment cells arise and interact to form the ‘zebra’ pattern in zebrafish. The zebrafish, a small…
In a newly published study, Yale University geneticists report that three factors — Nanog, Pou5f1 (or Oct4) and SoxB1 — are indeed needed to push…
Zebrafish (Danio rerio) are a useful model for studying gene behavior and function. Researchers have been able to make custom changes in the zebrafish’s genome,…
