The moment the embryo begins to respond to external stimuli.
The transition from simple twitches to coordinated, rhythmic movement. Why It Matters
By studying these videos, scientists can identify neurotoxic effects or genetic mutations that disrupt movement. This research is foundational for understanding human neuromuscular disorders, as zebrafish share over 70% of human genes associated with disease. Key Technical Details Pierre Drapeau (and team). Subject: Danio rerio (Zebrafish) embryo.
