Tiny, transparent, and now charted! Our brain atlas of adult Danionella cerebrum includes >200 annotated regions, 29 whole-brain in situs, and male/female reference volumes – openly available, versioned and extendable. Work by @nkadobyansky.bsky.social and team.

New paper out: www.nature.com/articles/s41... 🥳 Congratulations to our PhD student Katja for her inspiring work just published in Nature Communications on how the larval zebrafish brain processes multiple visual features.
Check out a short summary of the work here: tinyurl.com/yzv4ct9k
How do fish localize sound without interaural cues? @johve.bsky.social et al. found a behavioral algorithm for directional hearing that predicts behavior from a pressure/motion phase comparison and accounts for how this relationship varies with distance. www.cell.com/current-biol...
1/8. New preprint!
Using fUSi in head-fixed mice🐭, we found that arousal events trigger a brain-wide wave of activity 🌊🧠.
Surprisingly, this pattern was preserved during opto manipulations of the locus coeruleus, pointing to a minor role for noradrenergic tone.

Very happy to see this out. 👏 @yinanwan.bsky.social

First whole-brain recording of social sound processing in a vertebrate. Surprises start in the hindbrain; thalamus gates conspecific calls; male and female brains diverge downstream. Work by @joerghenninger.bsky.social, @mh123.bsky.social sky.social and team. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

Congratulations to Urs Lucas Bohm, junior leader a @ipnp.bsky.social, for his latest achievement: he is recipient of the ATIP-Avenir award for his work on spinal cord network contribution to motor behaviors, using voltage imaging techniques in zebrafish! Keep going, Urs! @inserm.fr #motordisease

Veith et al. show how a fish—Danionella cerebrum—can reliably startle away from sound.
It uses the relative phase between particle motion and pressure to infer the direction
of sound. This sensorimoto...
Gene expression patterns underlie development, but their systematic detection in whole embryos has remained elusive. We introduce a whole-embryo imaging platform using multiplexed error-robust fluores...

How do brains make decisions when faced with multiple, potentially conflicting cues? In our latest preprint, we show how #zebrafish use an additive strategy and process multiple visual features through anatomically distinct parallel pathways tinyurl.com/mvkn8em9 Thread 👇
