The Emergence of the Spatial Structure of Tectal Spontaneous Activity Is Independent of Visual Inputs

Summary: The brain is spontaneously active, even in the absence of sensory stimulation. The functionally mature zebrafish optic tectum shows spontaneous activity patterns reflecting a functional connectivity adapted for the circuit’s functional role and predictive of behavior. However, neither the e...
