Figure 1

Swim form of a zebrafish larva and projection of an MCoD neuron. (A) One of the swim forms of a zebrafish larva at 4 to 5 dpf. The cyan circle shows the center of mass, which is located near the swim bladder. Muscle contractions are presumed to occur in the two locations marked in red. (B) Projection pattern of an MCoD neuron in the spinal cord. The axon of the MCoD neuron crosses the midline (broken line), descends on the contralateral spinal cord, and makes mono-synaptic excitatory connections onto caudally located MNs.
