Post-ablation, fish swam faster, took more direct paths, and made frequent contact with obstacles, perhaps sensing with snout and fins… or just bumping into things.
Congratulations to Sonia and Fidji Berio (Postdoc in the lab!) for the nice work!!

New publication led by my MS student, Sonia Marketaki:
We tested how blind cavefish navigate a novel 3D obstacle course after lateral line ablation. Despite losing their primary mechanosensory input, the fish altered their behavior to complete the task. 🧪 🐟
