The zebrafish is a just a millimeter or two in length and it's brain contains a mere 300,000 neurons. While still a larva, it is transparent and therefore a favorite specimen of neuroscientists.

In previous studies of the transparent zebrafish, the researchers discovered a gene called mfsd2aa that, when mutated, caused the BBB to become leaky across the entire brain.

"Because zebrafish are transparent for the first 30 days of life, we can see in the living fish that the blood vessels glow green, while the fat deposits in vascular plaques are red," said Miller.
