The superior colliculus, or tectum in the case of non-mammalian vertebrates, is a part of the
brain that registers events in the surrounding space, often through vision and hearing, but …

Most animals have at least some binocular overlap, ie, a region of space that is viewed by
both eyes. This reduces the overall visual field and raises the problem of combining two …

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 …

Tricaine, or MS-222, is the most commonly used chemical anesthetic in zebrafish research. It
is thought to act via blocking voltage-gated sodium channels, though its mechanism of …

A key challenge for neural systems is to extract relevant information from the environment
and make appropriate behavioral responses. The larval zebrafish offers an exciting …

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

Despite the obvious morphological differences in the visual system, zebrafish share a similar
architecture and components of the same embryonic origin as humans. The zebrafish retina …

Extensive phylogenetic conservation of molecular pathways and neuroanatomical
structures, associated with efficient methods for genetic modification, have been exploited …

Neuronal wiring diagrams reconstructed from electron microscopic images are enabling
new ways of attacking neuroscience questions. We address two central issues, modularity …

Simple Summary Zebrafish form an ideal model for studying a wide range of
ophthalmological and neurological conditions. The optokinetic reflex (OKR) assays in …
