🚨 New(ish 😅) publication alert! 🚨 Out now in the latest issue of the Journal of Anatomy, we described an almost completely overlooked ligament in the Zebrafish Weberian apparatus, and its potential impact on sound transmission 🐟🔊: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/... Let’s dive in! 🧵 1/
The overlooked first intercostal ligament: Does it help to stabilize the Weberian apparatus?
3D rending of adult zebrafish Weberian apparatus in association with the occiput, swim bladder, and rib-bearing vertebrae, with highlighted interossicular, suspensor, and intercostal ligaments.
