We want to understand how a sensory system based on mechanoreception (like the lateral line of fish and amphibia) is able to detect the direction of the currents of water to perform rheotaxis (swim against the current). I do the characterization of the sensory neurons of the lateral line system in zebrafish larvae.I fundamentally apply genetic engineering and optical microscopy techniques.- Transgenesis- Dissection- Immunohistochemistry- PCR- Confocal and… Show more We want to understand how a sensory system based on mechanoreception (like the lateral line of fish and amphibia) is able to detect the direction of the currents of water to perform rheotaxis (swim against the current).
