Head stabilization behavior and underlying circuit mechanisms in larval zebrafish

This study shows larval zebrafish use a VCR-like behavior for head stabilization through specific body flexions and neural circuits, similar to mammals.

Biomechanics of static roll posture control by body flexion in adult zebrafish

This study shows adult zebrafish use body flexion during roll tilts to control posture, similar to larvae, and swim bladder deflation impairs this recovery.

Biomechanics and neural circuits for vestibular-induced fine postural control in larval zebrafish

This study identifies neural circuits in larval zebrafish that enable vestibular-induced fine postural control through a body bend reflex.

A fast genetically encoded fluorescent sensor for faithful in vivo acetylcholine detection in mice, fish, worms and flies

iAChSnFR, a fluorescent indicator built from a bacterial periplasmic binding protein, reports acetylcholine with large, fast signals in mouse, fish, fly and worm preparations.

50 Hz volumetric functional imaging with continuously adjustable depth of focus

The paper introduces a CADoF Bessel beam module for volumetric functional imaging at 50 Hz volume rate in larval zebrafish.

Video-rate volumetric functional imaging of the brain at synaptic resolution

This paper introduces a method to achieve video-rate volumetric imaging of brain activity at synaptic resolution using Bessel foci in two-photon microscopy.
