Latest from my lab: we identify and characterize the function of binocular neurons zebrafish larvae use to hunt prey; sciencedirect.com/science/arti.... Congrats to Richard Tian, Gewei Yan and Tommy Lam @tkclam.bsky.social!
Binocular integration of prey stimuli in the zebrafish visual system
Most animals with two eyes combine the inputs to achieve binocular vision, which can serve numerous functions and is particularly useful in hunting pr…
