Microplastic exposure and effects in aquatic organisms: a physiological perspective
S Franzellitti, L Canesi, M Auguste… - Environmental …, 2019 - Elsevier
The impact of microplastics (MPs) on aquatic life, given their ubiquitous presence in the
water compartment, represents a growing concern. Consistently, scientific knowledge is …

Rapid whole brain imaging of neural activity in freely behaving larval zebrafish (Danio rerio)
The internal brain dynamics that link sensation and action are arguably better studied during
natural animal behaviors. Here, we report on a novel volume imaging and 3D tracking …

Structure of the zebrafish locomotor repertoire revealed with unsupervised behavioral clustering
An important concept in ethology is that complex behaviors can be constructed from a set of
basic motor patterns. Identifying the set of patterns available to an animal is key to making …

Zebrafish differentially process color across visual space to match natural scenes
MJY Zimmermann, NE Nevala, T Yoshimatsu, D Osorio… - Current Biology, 2018 - cell.com
Animal eyes have evolved to process behaviorally important visual information, but how
retinas deal with statistical asymmetries in visual space remains poorly understood. Using …

Fovea-like photoreceptor specializations underlie single UV cone driven prey-capture behavior in zebrafish
In the eye, the function of same-type photoreceptors must be regionally adjusted to process
a highly asymmetrical natural visual world. Here, we show that UV cones in the larval …

A dedicated visual pathway for prey detection in larval zebrafish
Zebrafish larvae show characteristic prey capture behavior in response to small moving
objects. The neural mechanism used to recognize objects as prey remains largely unknown …

Visuomotor transformations underlying hunting behavior in zebrafish
Visuomotor circuits filter visual information and determine whether or not to engage
downstream motor modules to produce behavioral outputs. However, the circuit …

Retinotectal circuitry of larval zebrafish is adapted to detection and pursuit of prey
D Förster, TO Helmbrecht, DS Mearns, L Jordan… - elife, 2020 - elifesciences.org
Retinal axon projections form a map of the visual environment in the tectum. A zebrafish
larva typically detects a prey object in its peripheral visual field. As it turns and swims …
