The overall objective of the group is to unravel principles of neural computations underlying sensory-motor integration in thevertebrate brain. We use the zebrafish larva as a model since it currently constitutes the only vertebrate system amenable towhole-brain recording with cellular resolution. Using one- or two-photon light-sheet microscopy, we are able to monitor the long-termactivity of the quasi-entirety of the 100,000 neurons that comprise the animal brain, as it performs basic sensory-motor tasks.
