I’ll give an overview of internal - or motivational - states in larval zebrafish. Specifically we will focus on the role of the Oxytocin system in regulating the detection of, and behavioral responses to, conspecifics. The appeal here is that Oxytocin has likely conserved roles across all vertebrates, including humans, and that the larval zebrafish allows us to study some of the general principles across the brain but nonetheless at cellular resolution. This allows us to propose mechanistic models of emotional states.
