Heading direction maps in the larval zebrafish? 😲
With an anatomical organisation? 🤯
Finally time for a paper tooth!
Check out the final version of our work from the Portugues lab with coauthors Hagar Lavian, You Wu, Fabian Svara and @vilim: https://doi.org/10.1038/s41593-023-01308-5

While imaging (restrained) fish larvae, we observed a peculiar bump of activity propagating clockwise and anti-clockwise over a paired hindbrain nucleus. The bump was moving when the fish was turning left or right!
Scientists in Herwig Baier’s department created detailed gene expression maps of the zebrafish brain. They integrated them into the existing Max Planck Zebrafish Brain atlas – an open-source tool that can be expanded by the scientific community. Its accessibility makes the atlas an important tool for zebrafish researchers.

mapzebrain, the open-source atlas of the zebrafish brain, now also contains detailed gene expression maps. The atlas allows seamless integration of diverse data modalities, making it an important research tool accessible to everyone.
