Agarose stamped method: a simple and customizable immobilization technique for zebrafish larvae Open
Standardized immobilization of zebrafish larvae is crucial for consistent behavioral assays such as optokinetic response, feeding, and tail-movement analyses, but traditional agarose embedding methods remain labor-intensive and variable. W…

Combined Inductive and Dispersion Effects Enhance Bioorthogonal Reactivity of Tetrazines Toward Isonitriles Open
Inverse‐electron demand cycloaddition reactions of tetrazines are widely used in bioorthogonal chemistry, but the opposing effects of substituents on reactivity and stability make optimizing tetrazines for chemical biology applications cha…

Optogenetic activation of hypothalamic AgRP neurons in transgenic zebrafish larvae increased food intake Open
Agouti Related Peptide (AgRP) neurons are located in the hypothalamus, and upon stimulation, these neurons regulate hunger and hunger-mediated behaviors, especially food-seeking and compulsive eating. AgRP neurons are naturally activated b…

<span>d</span> ‐Amphetamine and Feeding States Cohesively Affect Locomotion and Motor Neuron Response in Zebrafish Larvae Open
Purpose Amphetamine (AMPH) increases locomotor activities in animals, and the locomotor response to AMPH is further modulated by caloric deficits such as food deprivation and restriction. The increment in locomotor activity regulated by AM…

Modulation of Hypothalamic Dopamine Neuron Activity by Interaction Between Caloric State and Amphetamine in Zebrafish Larvae Open
Dopamine (DA) signaling is evoked by both food and drugs that humans come to abuse. Moreover, physiological state (e.g., hunger versus satiety) can modulate the response. However, there is great heterogeneity among DA neurons. Limited stud…

Hypothalamic dopamine neuron activity is modulated by caloric states and amphetamine abuse in zebrafish larvae Open
Dopaminergic (DA) neuron activity is affected by reward and stress-inducing entities such as food and drugs of abuse, and different DA neuron populations can respond distinctly to these stimuli. Interaction between both stimuli significant…

Modulation of locomotion and motor neuron response by the cohesive effect of acute and chronic feeding states and acute d-amphetamine treatment in zebrafish larvae Open
Amphetamine (AMPH) increases locomotor activities in animals, and the locomotor response to AMPH is further modulated by caloric deficits such as food deprivation and restriction. The increment in locomotor activity regulated by AMPH-calor…

Food deprivation modulates heart rate, motor neuron, and locomotion responses to acute administration of d-amphetamine in zebrafish larvae Open
Psychostimulant drugs are so named because they alter the cardiac, brain and behavioral responses in humans and other animals. Acute food deprivation or chronic food restriction potentiates the stimulatory effects of abused drugs and incre…
