Tiltable objective microscope visualizes selectivity for head motion direction and dynamics in zebrafish vestibular system
Signals about head orientation and movement in the vestibular periphery are fundamental to the sense of balance and motion, but difficult to measure systematically during head motion. Here, the authors build a microscope that visualizes neural activity in hair cells and vestibular ganglion cells dur...

description | Signals about head orientation and movement in the vestibular periphery are fundamental to the sense of balance and motion, but difficult to measure systematically during head motion. Here, the authors build a microscope that visualizes neural activity in hair cells and vestibular ganglion cells during 360° head tilt and vibration in zebrafish larvae, and reveal a topographic organization of direction- and static/dynamic stimulus-selective responses. |
