Characterization of a thalamic nucleus mediating habenula responses to changes in ambient illumination

Abstract Background Neural activity in the vertebrate habenula is affected by ambient illumination. The nucleus that links photoreceptor activity with the habenula is not well characterized. Here, we describe the location, inputs and potential function of this nucleus in larval zebrafish. Results Hi...
