Control of wildtype zebrafish optomotor response with a photoswitchable drug

Luisa Camerin, Joaquín Martínez‐Tambella, Gregor F. P. Schuhknecht…·Pau Gorostiza

This study uses Carbadiazocine to modulate optomotor responses in zebrafish larvae, showing reduced accuracy and altered movement patterns when activated by light.
