Journal ArticleDOI
Deep Brain Photoreceptors Control Light-Seeking Behavior in Zebrafish Larvae
António M. Fernandes,Kandice Fero,Aristides B. Arrenberg,Sadie A. Bergeron,Wolfgang Driever,Harold A. Burgess +5 more
TL;DR: Light is shed on the identity and function of deep brain photoreceptors and suggest that otpa specifies an ancient population of sensory neurons that mediate behavioral responses to light.
Journal ArticleDOI
A Cellular-Resolution Atlas of the Larval Zebrafish Brain
Michael Kunst,Eva Laurell,Nouwar Mokayes,Anna Kramer,Fumi Kubo,António M. Fernandes,Dominique Förster,Marco Dal Maschio,Herwig Baier +8 more
TL;DR: An interactive cellular-resolution atlas of the zebrafish brain at 6 days post-fertilization based on the reconstructions of over 2,000 individually GFP-labeled neurons is built, establishing a unique database of quantitatively described neuronal morphologies together with their spatial coordinates in vivo.
Journal ArticleDOI
Deconstructing Hunting Behavior Reveals a Tightly Coupled Stimulus-Response Loop
TL;DR: It is shown that short-term integration of binocular visual cues shapes the behavioral dynamics of hunting, thus uncovering the temporal organization of a goal-directed behavior in a vertebrate.
Journal ArticleDOI
Potassium channel-based optogenetic silencing
Yinth Andrea Bernal Sierra,Benjamin R. Rost,Benjamin R. Rost,Martin Pofahl,António M. Fernandes,Ramona A. Kopton,Sylvain Moser,Dominik Holtkamp,Nicola Masala,Prateep Beed,John J. Tukker,John J. Tukker,Silvia Oldani,Silvia Oldani,Wolfgang Bönigk,Peter Kohl,Herwig Baier,Franziska Schneider-Warme,Peter Hegemann,Heinz Beck,Reinhard Seifert,Dietmar Schmitz +21 more
TL;DR: A genetically-encoded two-protein system that enables silencing of excitable cells such as neurons and cardiomyocytes using blue light, and its utility both in vitro and In vivo is introduced.
Journal ArticleDOI
Genetic targeting and anatomical registration of neuronal populations in the zebrafish brain with a new set of BAC transgenic tools
Dominique Förster,Irene Arnold-Ammer,Eva Laurell,Alison J. Barker,Alison J. Barker,António M. Fernandes,Karin Finger-Baier,Alessandro Filosa,Alessandro Filosa,Thomas O. Helmbrecht,Yvonne Kölsch,Enrico Kühn,Estuardo Robles,Estuardo Robles,Krasimir Slanchev,Tod R. Thiele,Tod R. Thiele,Herwig Baier,Fumi Kubo +18 more
TL;DR: This study reports the generation of a new Gal4- and Cre-driver resource for zebrafish neurobiology and shows that a combination of Gal4 and Cre transgenes allows intersectional expression of a fluorescent reporter in regions where the expression of the two drivers overlaps.
