Excited to share new work from my lab, where we image visual brain areas in behaving zebrafish larvae to see how sensory information is converted into hunting, freezing, or escape behaviors;

Thanks to @NeuroFishh for convincing us to try UV stimuli, which was a gamechanger for this project, and @MJY_Zimmermann and @Chagas_AM for helping @iplazarte set it up in my lab!.

Very happy to share the first paper from my lab, lead by @BiswadeepKhan. We show that we can evoke strikes, the final phase of hunting, in head-fixed zebrafish larvae, and use this new assay to study how they estimate distance to prey;

Dear @FENSorg, . Not all neuroscientists are men. Words matter. Being able to see yourself as a PI matters. Fix this.

I felt like I had to do something today, so I donated to the ACLU. Their work is going to be more important than ever.

An even clearer zebrafish; could be great for imaging, especially in the retina.
