The paper develops simZFish, a neuromechanical simulation of zebrafish optomotor behavior, to study how embodiment shapes neural circuits and behavior through simulations, imaging, and robotic testing.

The paper introduces a 25-camera multifocus microscope for high-speed 3D imaging and demonstrates its use in live imaging of organisms.

This study compares visuomotor strategies in zebrafish and Danionella cerebrum, revealing shared neural circuit motifs and species-specific behavioral patterns during visually guided locomotion.
