Distributed chromatic processing at the interface between retina and brain in the larval zebrafish.

ABSTRACT: Larval zebrafish (Danio rerio) are an ideal organism for studying color vision, as their retina possesses four types of cone photoreceptors, covering most of the visible range and into the UV.^1,2 Additionally, their eye and nervous systems are accessible to imaging, given that they are naturally transparent.^3-5 Recent studies have found that, through a set of wavelength-range-specific horizontal, bipolar, and retinal ganglion cells (RGCs),^6-9 the eye relays tetrachromatic information to several retinorecipient areas (RAs).^10-13 The main RA is the optic tectum, receiving 97% of the RGC axons via the neuropil mass termed arborization field 10 (AF10).^14,15 Here, we aim to understand the processi
