Fusion of locomotor maneuvers, and improving sensory capabilities, give rise to the flexible homing strikes of juvenile zebrafish
At five days post-fertilization and 4 mm in length, zebrafish larvae are successful predators of mobile prey items. The tracking and capturing of 200 µm long Paramecia requires efficient sensorimotor transformations and precise neural controls that activate axial musculature for orientation...
