The lateral line system of larval zebrafish is emerging as a model to study a range of topics in neurobiology, from hair cell regeneration to sensory processing. However, despite numerous studies detailing the patterning and development of lateral line neuromasts, little is known about the organization of their connections to afferent neurons and targets in the hindbrain. We found that as fish ...

Van Asselt, Els, Joost le Feber, and Ron van Mastrigt. Threshold for efferent bladder nerve firing in the rat. Am. J. Physiol. 276 (Regulatory Integrative Comp. Physiol. 45): R1819–R1824, 1999.—In this study, the mechanism involved in the initiation of voiding was investigated. Bladder pressure and bladder and urethral nerve activity were recorded in the anesthetized rat. Bladder nerve activity...
