Downstream @etlunsford.bsky.social mapped how the corresponding interneurons in the brainstem project onto reticulospinal neurons to select the steering command eliciting either forward or turns ... recalling the pioneering work of @daniobrain.bsky.social on optical motor response to flow! (5)

The tackle this question, @etlunsford.bsky.social 🌬️ stimulated each & all neuromasts along the body & discovered a simple principle within the brainstem !! Namely, information on location & direction is encoded in an egocentric referential around the center of mass! www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Fish display mechanosensors called neuromasts covering their body from head to tail. In each neuromast, hair cells can sense changes in water flow along different directions in the anteroposterior axis, either tailward or headward. How does the brain compute the flow information across the body? (2)

By combining controlled mechanical stimulation & whole brain #imaging, @etlunsford.bsky.social revealed an essential principle 💡... Mechanosensory inputs from any directions along the body are encoded relative to the center of mass (COM)! Recalling #olfaction with odors encoded by pleasantness (4)
