Masking of a circadian behavior in larval zebrafish involves the thalamo-habenula pathway

Abstract Changes in illumination can rapidly influence behavior that is normally controlled by the circadian clock. This effect is termed masking. In mice, masking requires melanopsin-expressing retinal ganglion cells that detect blue light and project to the thalamus. It is not known whether maskin...
