Janelia researchers thought that traditional ways of testing learning in larval zebrafish in the lab -- where the conditions were far from what the fish would encounter in the wild -- might not be ...

The ability of some animals to dynamically change color to match the brightness of their surroundings is one of nature's great survival tools, allowing flatfish to blend into sandy seabeds, frogs to ...

Coordinated eye-body movements are essential for adaptive behavior, yet little is known about how multisensory input, particularly chemosensory cues, shapes this coordination. Using our enhanced ...

A novel system that chases larval zebrafish around an arena with predator robots is enabling scientists to understand how these days-old fish quickly learn in the real world. A novel system developed ...
