Abstract:The visual system can identify stimuli as predators or prey, and respond with appropriate behaviors. To observe the transformation of visual information into behavior, we imaged the zebrafish visual system while larvae responded to three types of visual stimuli with innate hunting, freezing, and escape behaviors. We systematically identified visually driven neurons and behaviorally correlated sensorimotor neurons, and analyzed their responses to the different stimuli and behaviors. We found that the optic tect… Show more
