Evolutionary and homeostatic changes in morphology of visual dendrites of Mauthner cells in <span> <i>Astyanax</i> </span> blind cavefish Open
Mauthner cells are the largest neurons in the hindbrain of teleost fish and most amphibians. Each cell has two major dendrites thought to receive segregated streams of sensory input: the lateral dendrite receives mechanosensory input while…

Differences in behavior between surface and cave <span><i>Astyanax mexicanus</i></span> may be mediated by changes in catecholamine signaling Open
Astyanax mexicanus is a teleost fish that is in the process of allopatric speciation. Ancestral Astyanax are found in surface rivers and derived blind forms are found in cave systems. Adaptation to life in nutrient poor caves without preda…

Evolutionary increases in catecholamine signaling may underlie the emergence of adaptive traits and behaviors in the blind cavefish, <i>Astyanax mexicanus</i> Open
Evolutionary changes in catecholamine neurotransmitters such as dopamine and noradrenaline can lead to habitat specific behaviors. We used tyrosine hydroxylase, a conserved precursor to the biosynthesis of dopamine and noradrenaline, to co…
