The paper shows that zebrafish tectum integrates auditory and visual danger signals, enhancing escape behavior through increased neural activity and premotor circuit activation.

This study investigates how audiovisual stimuli are integrated in the Mauthner cell, showing that stimulus properties like modality, intensity, and timing affect input summation and integration mechanisms.

The paper shows that multisensory integration in goldfish Mauthner cells increases C-start probability and reduces response latency, with weaker auditory cues having a stronger multisensory effect.

This study shows that goldfish adjust their defensive behaviors based on the contrast of a looming stimulus, with higher contrast increasing the likelihood of a fast escape response and reducing response latency.
