Multimodal sensory overload in dopamine-deficient larval zebrafish leads to paradoxical kinesia

Posted by dbos July 4, 2025July 14, 2025UCSF

Kavli Affiliate: Su Guo | Authors: Krishnashish Bose, Su Guo and Karnika Bhardwaj | Summary: Paradoxical kinesia—the temporary alleviation of motor deficits by powerful, urgent stimuli in Parkinson’s disease (PD)—remains poorly understood at the neural circuit level. Through chemo-genetic ablation of tyrosine hydroxylase-expressing neurons in larval zebrafish and brain-wide calcium imaging under head-fixed, tail-free conditions, […]
