Direction-selective (DS) neurons compute the direction of motion in a visual scene. Brain-
wide imaging in larval zebrafish has revealed hundreds of DS neurons scattered throughout …

Following moving visual stimuli (conditioning stimuli, CS), many organisms perceive, in the
absence of physical stimuli, illusory motion in the opposite direction. This phenomenon is …

Animals respond to whole-field visual motion with compensatory eye and body movements
in order to stabilize both their gaze and position with respect to their surroundings. In …

All animals must transform ambiguous sensory data into successful behavior. This requires
sensory representations that accurately reflect the statistics of natural stimuli and behavior …

The perception of optic flow is essential for any visually guided behavior of a moving animal.
To mechanistically predict behavior and understand the emergence of self-motion …

Animals use global image motion cues to actively stabilize their position by compensatory
movements. Neurons in the zebrafish pretectum distinguish different optic flow patterns, eg …

Detailed descriptions of brain-scale sensorimotor circuits underlying vertebrate behavior
remain elusive. Recent advances in zebrafish neuroscience offer new opportunities to …

Non-cortical visual areas in vertebrate brains extract relevant stimulus features, such as
motion, object size, and location, to support diverse behavioral tasks. The optic tectum and …

Stabilizing gaze and position within an environment constitutes an important task for the
nervous system of many animals. The optomotor response (OMR) is a reflexive behavior …

Many animals guide their movements using optic flow, the displacement of stationary objects
across the retina caused by self-motion. How do animals selectively synthesize a global …
