Biomechanics and neural circuits for vestibular-induced fine postural control in larval zebrafish

The postural control mechanism in fish is unclear. Here, authors show that larval zebrafish recover upright posture after roll tilts by a body bend that produces corrective rotational torque. They also reveal the associated neural circuits and muscles.
