Supraspinal commands have a modular organization that is behavioral context specific
Lau et al. use calcium imaging and statistical modeling to comprehensively survey reticulospinal activity during diverse locomotor behaviors. They find that a small set of functional modules act combi...

First sneak peek into SimFish! 🐟
Long in development with @isaacbianco.bsky.social and Sam Pink, our fish-on-chips now captures key aspects of larval #zebrafish sensory processing and motor control.

Activity-driven myelin sheath growth is mediated by mGluR5 - Nature Neuroscience
Employing pharmacology, genetics and all-optical approaches in zebrafish, Braaker et al. find that neuronal activity influences the growth of myelin sheaths along axons by signaling through metabotrop...

Thanks to @schoppik.com and Celine Bellegarda for their nice Dispatch in @currentbiology.bsky.social about our recent paper on circuit control of hunting saccades.

Saccade subtypes: Eyes on the prize
Current models of eye movement control propose that motor neurons responsible for moving the eyes contribute to all eye movements, regardless of context. A recent study in larval zebrafish has instead...
