Neuronal imaging of calcium-dependent fluorescent signal in zebrafish larvae hindbrain during visuomotor response has a skewed lognormal-like distribution in peak signal. (A) In-vivo tail-bending in response to visual input. (B) Fluorescent signal (ΔF/F) at neuronal resolution of a glycinergic subpopulation which provide inhibitory feedback during escape response (50 cells shown). (C) The maximal calcium response across cells in the population is skewed and lognormal-like (lognormal fit, gray line). (D) Same distribution on log scale resembles a normal distribution (gray fit). (E) High skewness across the cohort (n = 10 animals). (F) Skewness on a log scale is closer to zero, i.e., normal distribution. Data kindly provided by Severi et al.
