Let's share @etlunsford.bsky.social's work : to survive, animals avoid drifting involuntarily in their environment. While humans rely on visual & vestibular cues, birds & fish need to sense complex flow changes of the external fluid (air/water) around them to select motor actions. How do they do?(1)

ICYMI #zebrafish folks:
Fresh from @lascholz.bsky.social and Conrad Lee, we offer 4 models pre-trained with diverse fps and resolutions. Leandro’s done all of the clicking. Benefit from his suffering and plug straight into automated annotation of your videos!

Congrats to @stednitz.bsky.social and Andrew Lesak on their @currentbiology.bsky.social paper! They use HMM to identify two interaction states in #zebrafish: one visual for long-range interactions and one lateral line for quick, close interactions.

Happy to share some new work on social interactions of zebrafish: using Hidden Markov models, @stednitz.bsky.social and Andrew Leszak show that there are three states of social approach behavior, and they differ in their sensory components.

Coordinated social interaction states revealed by probabilistic modeling of zebrafish behavior
Stednitz and Lesak et al. apply probabilistic modeling to classify larval zebrafish
social behavior and characterize the sensory underpinnings of distinct interaction
types.

Big paper from @paigel.bsky.social in our lab:
Sensory feedback is always crucial for proper development, right? Wrong!
Crazier still, the motor system is the slowest part of a developing reflex circuit!
Surprises abound in this bluetorial c’mon along….

Sensation is dispensable for the maturation of the vestibulo-ocular reflex
Vertebrates stabilize gaze using a neural circuit that transforms sensed instability into compensatory counterrotation of the eyes. Sensory feedback tunes this vestibulo-ocular reflex throughout life....

Pleased to make my first bsky post a joyful one. Congrats to Maya Wilde and Leandro Scholz on receiving their PhDs on Friday. So proud of you, and can't wait to see what your next chapters hold!
In an Aussie take on the Finnish top-hat-and-sword tradition, we gifted them Akubras and stock whips.
