Positive taxis and sustained responsiveness to water motions in larval zebrafish

Positive taxis and sustained responsiveness to water motions in larval zebrafish

Larval zebrafish (Danio rerio) have become favored subjects for studying the neural bases of behavior. Here, we report a highly stereotyped response of zebrafish larvae to hydrodynamic stimuli. It involves positive taxis, motion damping and sustained responsiveness to flows derived from local, non-s...
