Evaluating the Death and Recovery of Lateral Line Hair Cells Following Repeated Neomycin Treatments

Acute chemical ablation of lateral line hair cells is an important tool to understand lateral line-mediated behaviors in free-swimming fish larvae and adults. However, lateral line-mediated behaviors have not been described in fish larvae prior to swim bladder inflation, possibly because single dose...
