Dense reconstruction of synaptic connectivity requires high-resolution electron microscopy
images of entire brains and tools to efficiently trace neuronal wires across the volume. To …

Abstract In 1994, Burrill and Easter described the retinal projections in embryonic and larval
zebrafish, introducing the term “arborization fields”(AFs) for the retinorecipient areas. AFs …

The dense reconstruction of neuronal wiring diagrams from volumetric electron microscopy
data has the potential to generate fundamentally new insights into mechanisms of …

To track and control self-location, animals integrate their movements through space.
Representations of self-location are observed in the mammalian hippocampal formation, but …

The advent of multimodal brain atlases promises to accelerate progress in neuroscience by
allowing in silico queries of neuron morphology, connectivity, and gene expression. We …

Retinal ganglion cells (RGCs) form an array of feature detectors, which convey visual
information to central brain regions. Characterizing RGC diversity is required to understand …

Brain development is orchestrated by both innate and experience-dependent mechanisms,
but their relative contributions are difficult to disentangle. Here we asked if and how central …

Optical recordings of neuronal activity at cellular resolution represent an invaluable tool to
investigate brain mechanisms. Zebrafish larvae is one of the few model organisms where …

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 …

The vertebrate retina contains an array of neural circuits that detect distinct features in visual
space. Direction-selective (DS) circuits are an evolutionarily conserved retinal circuit motif …
