The distribution of GAD67-mRNA in the adult zebrafish (teleost) forebrain reveals a prosomeric pattern and suggests previously unidentified homologies to tetrapods.

18 Oct 2009 We used in situ hybridization on sections to examine the distribution of GAD67-expressing cell populations in the entire forebrain of the adult zebrafish. GAD67 is predominantly expressed in the olfactory bulb (OB), all regions of the subpallium ... Read more...

Protein phosphatase 1 regulates the histone code for long-term memory.

12 Oct 2009 Chromatin remodeling through histone posttranslational modifications (PTMs) and DNA methylation has recently been implicated in cognitive functions, but the mechanisms involved in such epigenetic regulation remain poorly understood. Here, we show ... Read more...

Differential responsiveness in brain and behavior to sexually dimorphic long calls in male and female zebra finches.

29 Sep 2009 In zebra finches (Taeniopygia guttata), as in most other songbird species, there are robust sex differences in brain morphology and vocal behavior. First, male zebra finches have larger song system nuclei--involved in sensorimotor learning and ... Read more...
