Nature research paper: Plastic landmark anchoring in zebrafish compass neurons

Using two-photon microscopy with a panoramic virtual reality setup, how head direction cells in larval zebrafish integrate visual landmarks and optic flow to track orientation is revealed.
Have you ever wondered how the brain should represent the sensory world in order to generate behavior? Read our new preprint: work by Shuhong Huang shuhonghuang.bsky.social with our long-standing collaborator James Fitzgerald at Northwestern.
We check this behavioral alignment principle by measuring behavior in larval zebrafish and showing that we can predictively account for visual encoding throughout the brain: population codes represent visual stimuli according to the optomotor responses they elicit.
