Topic: luminance information

Navigating through a vivid environment requires animals to rapidly process a bewildering mass of sensory signals and interpret it in the context of ongoing behavior. Local and global motion cues along with luminance information guide them to orient and interact adaptively within the world. Larval zebrafish react to such signals with behaviors ranging from active light seeking and shadow avoidance to optomotor swimming or hunting that are expressed in kinematically distinct movements. We asked how are the brain-wide networks of neurons organized that process such signals and how do they integra
