Yet another cool story just came out of the ever-so-capable hands of Roy Harpaz (@royharpaz.bsky.social). www.nature.com/articles/s41... Roy showed that larval zebrafish will adapt and get used to crowded conditions, and that they are then, later on, less sensitive about their personal space.

Excited to share our CB paper, led by @shachafbe.bsky.social, w/Lior Appelbaum, Oren Levy & @engertlab.bsky.social .We show that artificial light pollution disrupts sleep, social behavior & feeding in reef fish and causes the accumulation of neural DNA damage. authors.elsevier.com/c/1nJYi3QW8S...

How does the brain manage metabolism proactively? We show that a neuron–glia circuit helps zebrafish anticipate the delayed oxygen cost of movement and act before brain O2 drops. Excited to share our preprint on predictive oxygen regulation. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6... #Allostasis
