Figure 6.

Righting rotation restores posture after peak speed

(A) Pitch angles plotted as a function of time (dark lines) overlaid with distribution of pitch angles before (left) and after bouts (right). Red area indicates duration after peak speed when pitch distribution narrowed.

(B) Illustration of righting behavior. Larvae rotate (red arrows) toward more neutral posture after peak speed.

(C) Distribution of rotation during righting (red in A).

(D) Righting rotation plotted as a function of initial pitch angles.

(E) Righting gain is determined by the absolute value of the slope (red dotted line) of best fitted line (black line). The x intersect of the fitted line determines the set point (blue cross) indicating the posture at which no righting rotation results.

(F) Schematic illustration of righting rotation (red arrows), righting gain, and setpoint (blue dashed line).

For all panels, n = 121,979 bouts from 537 fish over 27 repeats.
