[HTML][HTML] Adaptive locomotor behavior in larval zebrafish
R Portugues, F Engert - Frontiers in systems neuroscience, 2011 - frontiersin.org
In this study we report that larval zebrafish display adaptive locomotor output that can be
driven by unexpected visual feedback. We develop a new assay that addresses visuomotor …

[PDF][PDF] Whole-brain activity maps reveal stereotyped, distributed networks for visuomotor behavior
Most behaviors, even simple innate reflexes, are mediated by circuits of neurons spanning
areas throughout the brain. However, in most cases, the distribution and dynamics of firing …

The neural basis of visual behaviors in the larval zebrafish
R Portugues, F Engert - Current opinion in neurobiology, 2009 - Elsevier
We review visually guided behaviors in larval zebrafish and summarise what is known
about the neural processing that results in these behaviors, paying particular attention to the …
