Brain-scale neural circuits transform visual input into discrete movements with appropriate speed, vigor, and duration. Yet, single-cell resolution and mechanistic characterization of such circuits in vertebrates have been elusive, largely due to the vast number of neurons and complexity of the mammalian brain. The translucent larval zebrafish offers unique opportunities to study brain-wide cellular-level neural computations during visuomotor transformations. One such transformation is the optomotor response (OMR), where fish execute discrete locomotion bouts to stabilize their body position i
