Basal ganglia output guides decision-making by state destabilization

The paper shows that basal ganglia output in zebrafish destabilizes neural activity states to guide decision-making in a Go/No-go task.

Predicting individual learning trajectories in zebrafish via the free-energy principle

This paper uses active inference to model zebrafish neuronal dynamics during a go/no-go task, predicting individual learning trajectories and behavioural changes.

Transgenic tools targeting striatal and pallidal subpopulations revealed evolutionary conservation and specialization of the cortico-basal ganglia circuit in zebrafish

The paper identifies evolutionary conserved and specialized pathways in the zebrafish cortico-basal ganglia circuit using transgenic tools and single-cell RNA sequencing.

Wide and Deep Imaging of Neuronal Activities by a Wearable NeuroImager Reveals Premotor Activity in the Whole Motor Cortex

The paper introduces a wearable neuroimager for whole-brain imaging in mice, revealing premotor activity across the motor cortex.

Future state prediction errors guide active avoidance behavior by adult zebrafish.

This study shows adult zebrafish use future state prediction errors to guide active avoidance behavior in a virtual reality setup.

Pkd2l1 is required for mechanoception in cerebrospinal fluid-contacting neurons and maintenance of spine curvature

This study identifies Pkd2l1 as essential for mechanosensation in cerebrospinal fluid-contacting neurons and spine curvature maintenance in zebrafish.
