Journal ArticleDOI

Control of visually guided behavior by distinct populations of spinal projection neurons.

TL;DR: A new behavioral assay was used to identify visual stimuli that specifically drive basic motor patterns in zebrafish and found that stimuli that drive distinct behaviors activated distinct subsets of projection neurons, consisting of just a few cells.
Journal ArticleDOI

Neural Control and Modulation of Swimming Speed in the Larval Zebrafish

TL;DR: The activity of single identified neurons within the nMLF is correlated with locomotor kinematics, and modulates both the duration and oscillation frequency of tail movements, which helps build a better understanding of how the brain controls movement.
Journal ArticleDOI

ZebraZoom: an automated program for high-throughput behavioral analysis and categorization.

TL;DR: ZebraZoom, a program to automatically track larvae and identify maneuvers for many animals performing discrete movements, reached the level of precision found in manual analysis but accomplished tasks in a high-throughput format necessary for large screens.
Journal ArticleDOI

Optogenetics in a transparent animal: circuit function in the larval zebrafish.

TL;DR: In this small, transparent, genetic model organism, noninvasive manipulation and monitoring of neuronal activity with light is possible throughout the nervous system.
