Mature locomotion requires that animal nervous systems coordinate distinct groups of
muscles. The pressures that guide the development of coordination are not well understood …

Hearing and bodily balance are different sensations initiated by a common mechanism. Both
sound-and head movement-dependent mechanical displacement are converted into …

Eye and inner ear diseases are the most common sensory impairments that greatly impact
quality of life. Zebrafish have been intensively employed to understand the fundamental …

Within reflex circuits, specific anatomical projections allow central neurons to relay
sensations to effectors that generate movements. A major challenge is to relate anatomical …

The larval zebrafish acquires a repertoire of vestibular-driven behaviors that aid survival
early in development. These behaviors rely mostly on the utricular otolith, which senses …

Rapidly developing imaging technologies including two-photon microscopy and genetically
encoded calcium indicators have opened up new possibilities for recording neural …

The three otolithic endorgans of the inner ear are known to be involved in sound detection in
different teleost fishes, yet their relative roles for auditory–vestibular functions within the …

The inner ear is a remarkably intricate structure able to detect sound, motion, and gravity.
During development of the zebrafish embryo, the ear undergoes dynamic morphogenesis …
