Description

Zebrafish larvae are so transparent that you can see their brains—and you can even watch individual neurons light up in real time. Neuroscientists Jennifer Li and Drew Robson do just that, tracking brain activity in freely swimming zebrafish as they explore, interact, and forage. In this episode, co-hosted by Svenja Klinkowski, we dive into their work and what it reveals about the fundamental mechanisms of the brain.
