How do broadly distributed sensors along the entire body compactly organize within the brain? Check out my preprint which is the latest from @clairewyart.bsky.social 's lab to see how the lateral line organizes positional and directional cues in an egocentric framework!
Schematic of larval zebrafish with with bicolor dots representing the position of NMs along the head, trunk, and tail. The bicolor dots are color coded to the directional sensitivity where cyan represents flow detection towards the center-of-mass and magenta represents flow detection away from the center-of-mass. Correspondingly color coded fibers extend toward the medial octavolateralis nuclei (MON) represented by four circles colored either cyan (rostral) or magenta (caudal). The rostral MON subnuclei receives inputs from flow towards the center-of-mass and the caudal MON subnuclei receives inputs away from the center-of-mass.
