This study shows that PGE2 alters temperature stimulus valence in zebrafish, making heating attractive and cooling aversive, challenging the idea that fever reduces perceived warmth.

This study uses Markov models and calcium imaging to show how larval zebrafish navigate thermal gradients through behavioral strategies and neural activity.

The paper introduces MINE, a framework using CNNs to link neural activity to behavioral tasks, identifying new neuron classes in zebrafish thermoregulatory circuits.
