| Abstract | The overall goal of this project is to better understand how the nervous system evolves. By linking traditionally separate fields of genetics and neuroscience, the researchers will reveal how sensory systems change over time in the blind Mexican cavefish. The cavefish is a special animal in that it has both blind and eyed populations, thereby providing a unique opportunity to connect basic, fundamental research with a broader understanding of evolution for society (through journal publications, |
