Zebrafish (Danio rerio) brain anatomy and function exhibit a remarkable homology to those of humans, thus offering the possibility to carry out studies addressing key pathophysiological aspects of the nervous system. In this project, I exploited zebrafish to study the pathophysiological function of two key synaptic proteins involved in neurodevelopment and neurodegeneration: Synapsin III (SynIII) and α-synuclein (α-syn). SynIII is a neuron-specific phosphoprotein highly expressed in the early stages of cortical and hippocampal neurons development, while in mature neuronal cells, it controls dopamine release. SynIII polymorphisms have been associated with attention deficits and hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), which is characterized by signifi...
