Traumatic brain injury results in seizures and Tau-linked conditions in zebrafish larvae.

Zebrafish larvae with neurons that carry Tau proteins fused with a fluorescent reporter (Tau4R-GFP) are subjected to a brain injury (left). Many then experience seizures, and without treatment they develop a Tau-linked condition in which the proteins aggregate and the neurons die (top right). Larvae that receive anticonvulsants are protected to a certain extent against seizures and the Tau-linked illness (bottom right).
