Neurogenetics of social affiliation in zebrafish

Speaker: Johannes Larsch, Dr.

Affiliation: Max Planck Institute for Biological Intelligence

The focus of his work is to understand how social interactions emerge from neural computations in individual animals. In previous work, he and colleagues identified fundamental visual cues inducing robust zebrafish interactions with virtual reality avatars and defined how individual animals contribute to this mutual behavior.
Currently, the work of Johannes‘ group leverages this discovery to investigate
the underlying neural circuitry and effect of naturally occurring genetic variation and human disease associated mutations on zebrafish social behavior.
