Our results highlight the diversity in visuomotor strategies of teleost fish, controlled by shared neural circuit motifs, and establish a framework for further investigation into the mechanisms driving continuous and discrete visually guided locomotion. 🧠.

Using simultaneous 2P imaging and tail tracking, we find that ZF and DC share similar visuomotor neural architecture, recruiting pretectal and hindbrain regions. Both species demonstrate lateralized encoding of turns, particularly in medial hindbrain neurons.

What do you want to know?.

Larval Danionella (DC) performs the optomotor response, following the direction of perceived optic flow at faster speeds than zebrafish (ZF) w/ freely swimming behavior assays. DC makes smooth continuous swims, interspersed with sharp directional turns.

This project was only made possible with the amazing work of @ZichenCleoHe, Dr. Matt Loring, and @evaaimable 🌟🌟🌟, and of course the helpful, welcoming Danionella community! ❤️.

Excited to announce our preprint on the comparison of visuomotor behaviors and neural circuit mechanisms between larval zebrafish and Danionella cerebrum is out! 🐟👁️🧠🌊
