We investigated the development of oculomotor activity in zebrafish embryos and larvae of
ages 48‐96 hrs postfertilization (hpf). The optokinetic response (OKR: smooth tracking …

We studied the development and maturation of the visual system by determining when
zebrafish begin to see and to move their eyes. This information was correlated with the time …

We quantitatively studied the ontogeny of oculomotor behavior in larval fish as a foundation
for studies linking oculomotor structure and function with genetics. Horizontal optokinetic …

Early eye morphogenesis in the zebrafish between 12 and 36 hours postfertilization was
studied by light‐and scanning electron microscopy. Overall, early eye morphogenesis in the …

The development and properties of locomotor behaviors in zebrafish embryos raised at
28.5° C were examined. When freed from the chorion, embryonic zebrafish showed three …

The vertebrate optokinetic nystagmus (OKN) is a compensatory oculomotor behavior that is
evoked by movement of the visual environment. It functions to stabilize visual images on the …

Publisher Summary This chapter elaborates the ontogeny of behavior and concurrent
developmental changes in sensory systems in teleost fishes. Considerable changes in …

Zebrafish (Brachydanio rerio) larvae (8 days) were tested singly in a swimway made up of
six compartments. The larva emerged into each compartment in turn, and its response to …

Free swimming zebrafish larvae depend mainly on their sense of vision to evade predation
and to catch prey. Hence, there is strong selective pressure on the fast maturation of visual …

Background Vestibular reflexes coordinate movements or sensory input with changes in
body or head position. Vestibular-evoked responses that involve the extraocular muscles …
