In recent years, the zebrafish larva has become a powerful vertebrate
model for neuroethology research. Its optical accessibility, a known
genome and a vast library of promoters and mutants, make the zebrafish
specially suitable for optogenetics and cutting-edge optical methods
(e.g. light-sheet microscopy, holographics) to monitor and manipulate
neuronal activity. In addition, the zebrafish has a complex although
discrete repertoire of motor behaviours, making an ideal vertebrate
preparation for the study of neuronal circuit dynamics underlying motor
behaviour. The purpose of this meeting is to bring together researchers
interested in the study of neural circuits and behaviour, and to
introduce the zebrafish model to the neuroethology community which
allows the use of state-of-the-art technical approaches to ask
neuroethological questions and test specific hypotheses with
unprecedented power and infeasible using other animal models.
