Mapping vestibular responses in larval zebrafish. (A) When vertebrates, including larvae, are rolled towards their sides, activity from utricle organs (purple) in the inner ears is conveyed to the hindbrain, throughout the brain, and eventually to the eyes and body for vestibular reflexes. (B) Novel solutions for mapping vestibular responses in larvae using SPIM (selective plane illumination microscopy) include tilting a miniaturized microscope [8] or stimulating the utricle directly with optical tweezers [7].

Fig. 2

Schematized vestibular response maps. (A) Some areas responded selectively to rightward or leftward stepwise rolls, while others responded to both directions comparably (Bilateral) [8]. (B) Some areas responded in-phase with rightward or leftward angular velocity, while others responded in-phase or anti-phase with posture (Posture) [8]. (C) Some areas were inhibited ipsilaterally or bilaterally by stimulation of a single utricle [7].
