Developing real-time tracking software and setup for studying active avoidance conditioning in zebrafish
Palumbo, Fabrizio (Master thesis, 2016)The cognitive capabilities of fish have historically been underestimated and, in many respects, they are comparable to birds and mammals. Currently, an increasing number of behavioural neuroscience laboratories have started ... -

Epilepsy as a Network Disorder From Zebrafish to Humans
Myren-Svelstad, Sverre (Doctoral theses at NTNU;2022:217, Doctoral thesis, 2022) -
Evolutionary conserved brainstem circuits encode category, concentration and mixtures of taste
Vendrell-Llopis, Nuria; Yaksi, Emre (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2015)Evolutionary conserved brainstem circuits are the first relay for gustatory information in the vertebrate brain. While the brainstem circuits act as our life support system and they mediate vital taste related behaviors, ... -
Experience-dependent plasticity modulates ongoing activity in the antennal lobe and enhances odor representations
Franco, Luis M.; Yaksi, Emre (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Ongoing neural activity has been observed across several brain regions and is thought to reflect the internal state of the brain. Yet, it is important to understand how ongoing neural activity interacts with sensory ... -
