Pretectal neurons control hunting behaviour

Antinucci, Paride; Folgueira, Mónica; Bianco, Isaac H. (eLife Sciences Publications, 2019-10-08)

[Abstract] For many species, hunting is an innate behaviour that is crucial for survival, yet the circuits that control predatory action sequences are poorly understood. We used larval zebrafish to identify a population ...
