FIGURE 8.
Gravitoinertial control of eye orientation in larval zebrafish. Compensatory static eye positions attained during 45∘ nose up and -45∘ nose down pitch are illustrated by the fish insets on the left. Precise counter-rotation of the eyes (top right) derived solely from sensorimotor transformation of utricular signals in tangential (TAN) neurons (bottom right). M, Mauthner cell; MLF, medial longitudinal fascicle. Figure summarizes results from Moorman et al. (1999); Suwa et al. (1999) and Bianco et al. (2012).
