A band of nerds studying zebrafish perception. Frantically juggling physics, Ca imaging, maths, & behavior🇦🇺🇺🇸🇳🇿🇨🇳🇮🇷🇬🇧🇫🇷🇸🇨🇨🇮🇮🇳🇧🇷🇩🇪🏳️🌈
The University of Melbourne
Joined May 2016
Zebrafish and non-zebrafish people are welcome. Internationals and those from underrepresented groups are encouraged to apply. Our lab is a mutually supportive team with positive vibes and an ethic of teamwork, looking for members with the same mindset. If that's you, read on👇

For those who aren’t at #IZFC2024 in Kyoto or want to know more, Gaia, Kate, and I wrote a little piece for @the_Node earlier this year.

Within our collective of zebrafish labs at UCL, the sheer volume of single-use plastic Petri dishes we breeze through is staggering - a staggering 130 kg

Hello, world! I have some work I’m very excited to share with you. We've been cooking it over the past four years, starting when I was confined to a studio apartment during Covid lockdowns. Collab w/ @jmacshine @eli_j_muller @DrBreaky @LabEthan doi: 10.1101/2024.06.22.600219

New banger from @DrBMunn and co. TL/DR: coarse-graining multi-species calcium data allows us to link across scales and make some inferences about how information processing might work in the brain. Super fun collab with @eli_j_muller @DrBreaky & Ethan Scott

Enough about sleep— check out zebrafish brain asymmetry in Science from our UCL zebrafish floor mates! The Nature -Science double makes for a pretty good week for our science collective!
science.org
Neurons on the left and right sides of the nervous system often show asymmetric properties, but how such differences arise is poorly understood. Genetic screening in zebrafish revealed that loss of...

A thing we did finally came out @Nature! 100% the result of the extraordinary vision and hard work of PhD student @SuppAnya, who slogged through years of thankless technique building before making some important sleep discoveries.
nature.com
Nature - Synapses are gained during spontaneous or forced periods of wake and lost during sleep in a neuron-subtype-dependent manner in zebrafish.

When I was a postdoc, you could have reviewed zebrafish vision with 50 citations. Now, 200 is woefully inadequate. Apologies for all the worthy studies that we couldn't fit and for the necessary focus with which we've covered this exciting, expanding field.

It provides a few years' worth of updates and a new perspective from @JohannBollmann's excellent 2019 review, which I recommend reading alongside ours.
annualreviews.org
Visual stimuli can evoke complex behavioral responses, but the underlying streams of neural activity in mammalian brains are difficult to follow because of their size. Here, I review the visual...

Thanks to @BaierLab for including me. We've reviewed the regions, neurons, and connections of zebrafish vision, highlighting the parallel (thus the plural "systems") and converging processing of diverse stimuli, also touching on plasticity and context.
annualreviews.org
The zebrafish visual system has become a paradigmatic preparation for behavioral and systems neuroscience. Around 40 types of retinal ganglion cells (RGCs) serve as matched filters for stimulus...
