Spontaneous Activity and Intrinsic Photosensitivity in the Developing Zebrafish Spinal Cord
Summary:
This paper discusses the research on motor circuits of the embryonic zebrafish spinal cord, focusing on the discovery of the activity within this circuit being strongly inhibited by environmental light at an age before vision and before the spinal cord is connected to brain circuitry.
Categories
- Cognitive function and memory: The paper discusses the role of motor circuits in the embryonic zebrafish spinal cord in cognitive function and memory, particularly in relation to the impact of environmental light.
- Education and learning: The paper contributes to the field of education and learning by providing new insights into the role of environmental light in the development of neural activity in spinal interneurons.
- Phototherapy: The paper discusses the impact of environmental light on the activity within the motor circuits of the embryonic zebrafish spinal cord, suggesting potential implications for phototherapy.
