Neuromuscular synapses were finally visualized in a live zebrafish larva after many trials and errors

Behind the Great Wave and Great Fish

Abducens motor neurons (green) and extraocular muscles (magenta) in a live zebrafish larva.

Arguably the world’s most famous outward eye movement (abduction) generated by pieces of zebrafish
