Low SE, Ryan J, Sprague SM, Hirata H, Cui WW, Zhou W, Hume RI, Kuwada JY, Saint-Amant L Na(v)1.6a is required for normal activation of motor circuits normally excited by tactile stimulation. Low SE, Zhou W, Choong I, Saint-Amant L, Sprague SM, Hirata H, Cui WW, Hume RI, Kuwada JY The zebrafish ennui behavioral mutation disrupts acetylcholine receptor localization and motor axon stability. Saint-Amant L, Sprague SM, Hirata H, Li Q, Cui WW, Zhou W, Poudou O, Hume RI, Kuwada JY Zebrafish relatively relaxed mutants have a ryanodine receptor defect, show slow swimming and provide a model of multi-minicore disease. Hirata H, Watanabe T, Hatakeyama J, Sprague SM, Saint-Amant L, Nagashima A, Cui WW, Zhou W, Kuwada JY Non-sense mutations in the dihydropyridine receptor beta1 gene, CACNB1, paralyze zebrafish relaxed mutants. Zhou W, Saint-Amant L, Hirata H, Cui WW, Sprague SM, Kuwada JY The zebrafish shocked gene encodes a glycine transporter and is essential for the function of early neural circuits in the CNS. Cui WW, Low SE, Hirata H, Saint-Amant L, Geisler R, Hume RI, Kuwada JY Zebrafish bandoneon mutants display behavioral defects due to a mutation in the glycine receptor beta-subunit. Hirata H, Saint-Amant L, Downes GB, Cui WW, Zhou W, Granato M, Kuwada JY accordion, a zebrafish behavioral mutant, has a muscle relaxation defect due to a mutation in the ATPase Ca2+ pump SERCA1.
