Abstract
This colorful digitally drawn comic explains why zebrafish are used as model organisms in biology and biomedical research. It explores research on connexion based gap junctions and the flow of bioelectricity through the neuromuscular system. Created in collaboration between undergraduate cartoonist Bentley Smallwood and UO researcher Dr. Rachel Lukowicz-Bedford as part of the Science and Comics Initiative, read the comic online here: https://opentext.uoregon.edu/science-comics/chapter/sparking-life-bioelectric-communication-during-zebrafish-development/
