Brain circuits for vision develop without any kind of input from the retina in zebrafish. Animals possess specialized networks of neurons in the brain that receive signals about the outside world from ...

Animals possess specialized networks of neurons in the brain that receive signals about the outside world from the retina and respond by initiating appropriate behavior. Researchers at the Max Planck ...

A novel system developed by Janelia researchers that chases larval zebrafish around an arena with predator robots is enabling scientists to understand how these days-old fish quickly learn in the real ...

If we are lucky, Artificial intelligence might one day help scientists understand the human brain the same way language models predict the next word in a sentence. And now, that future is closer to ...

Using a virtual reality setup, the team fixed a larval zebrafish fish in place and showed it different visual patterns. The first 10 seconds show the fish at rest. When the fish sees a pattern ...

A new study published in Nature suggests that the neural foundations of spatial navigation—the brain's internal "GPS"—may have emerged far earlier in evolution than previously believed. The research, ...
