Check out our paper in Nature Communications in collaboration with Filippo del Bene’s lab.
Zebrafish lack ipsilateral retinal projections yet they are likely to us binocular cue for judging distnace to their prey (Bianco et al 2011). Now we describe a population of ‘intertectal neurons’ that appear to transfer visual information across the midline and are required for zebrafish to strike at prey. Congratulations to everyone involved in the project and especially Christoph Gebhardt.
