Neural circuitry of a polycystin-mediated hydrodynamic startle response for predator avoidance

Neural circuitry of a polycystin-mediated hydrodynamic startle response for predator avoidance

Startle responses triggered by aversive stimuli including predators are widespread across animals. These coordinated whole-body actions require the rapid and simultaneous activation of a large number of muscles. Here we study a startle response in a planktonic larva to understand the whole-body circ...
