The Zebrafish fade out mutant: a novel genetic model for Hermansky-Pudlak syndrome. (2006)

Bahadori, R, Rinner, O, Schonthaler, H B, Biehlmaier, O, Makhankov, Y V, Rao, P, ...

PURPOSE: To characterize retinal morphology and visual system function in the zebrafish mutant fade out (fad) and to establish the mutant as a lower vertebrate model for Hermansky-Pudlak syndrome...

Nyctalopin is essential for synaptic transmission in the cone dominated zebrafish retina. (2006)

Bahadori, R, Biehlmaier, O, Zeitz, C, Labhart, T, Makhankov, Y V, Forster, U, ...

The first synapse in the vertebrate visual system is the photoreceptor synapse between rod and cone photoreceptors and the second-order bipolar cells. Although mutations in the nyctalopin gene (NYX)...

Genetic identification of AChE as a positive modulator of addiction to the psychostimulant D-amphetamine in zebrafish. (2006)

Ninkovic, J, Folchert, A, Makhankov, Y V, Neuhauss, S C F, Sillaber, I, Straehle, U, ...

Addiction is a complex maladaptive behavior involving alterations in several neurotransmitter networks. In mammals, psychostimulants trigger elevated extracellular levels of dopamine, which can be...

Genetic identification of AChE as a positive modulator of addiction to the psychostimulant D-amphetarnine in zebrafish (2006)

Ninkovic, J., Folchert, A., Makhankov, Y. V., Neuhauss, S. C. F., Sillaber, I., Straehle, U., ...

Knockdown of cone-specific kinase GRK7 in larval zebrafish leads to impaired cone response recovery and delayed dark adaptation. (2005)

Rinner, O, Makhankov, Y V, Biehlmaier, O, Neuhauss, S C F

Phosphorylation of rhodopsin by rhodopsin kinase GRK1 is an important desensitization mechanism in scotopic vision. For cone vision GRK1 is not essential. However, cone opsin is phosphorylated...

Duplicated genes with split functions: independent roles of protocadherin15 orthologues in zebrafish hearing and vision. (2005)

Seiler, C, Finger-Baier, K C, Rinner, O, Makhankov, Y V, Schwarz, H, Neuhauss, S C F, ...

In the sensory receptors of both the eye and the ear, specialized apical structures have evolved to detect environmental stimuli such as light and sound. Despite the morphological divergence of these...

An inexpensive device for non-invasive electroretinography in small aquatic vertebrates. (2004)

Makhankov, Y V, Rinner, O, Neuhauss, S C F

Electroretinographic (ERG) method records a sum field potential of the retina in response to light. It mainly arises in the outer retina and is used as a non-invasive measure in both animal...
