Circuit Dynamics and Behavior: Insights from Zebrafish.
Four speakers will present on different neural aspects that enable critical behavioral functions, such as visual discrimination, navigation and orientation, and adult neurogenesis in the zebrafish. The symposium will highlight the advantages of using the zebrafish as an experimental model to address various systems biology questions. In particular, the speakers will present cutting-edge techniques for recording and analyzing in vivo whole-brain neuronal activity.
