Thank you so much for featuring our study🙏
Found them: the brain's specific "go" neurons for swimming. @fumikubo.bsky.social team discovers the inhibitory pretextal cells essential for optomotor response, dissociating it from eye movements. A stunning map from function to molecular identity. Thrilled to highlight this work! 🐟
Molecular roadmap of functionally defined optic-flow circuits. #neuroscience

As a “blend of careful physiology, elegant genetic access and rigorous behavioral readouts”, @sinanmalik.bsky.social highlights a #preprint @fumikubo.bsky.social & team

Preprint Alert!
How does the brain distinguish different types of optic flow?
We combined CaMPARI2 labeling with single-cell RNA-seq (CaMPARI-seq) to dissect visual circuits in zebrafish.

Molecular and functional dissection using CaMPARI-seq reveals the neuronal organization for dissociating optic flow-dependent behaviors
Optic flow processing is critical for the visual control of body and eye movements in many animals. Rotational and translational binocular optic flow patterns need to be clearly distinguished to induc...
