title: Neurobiology: imaging prey capture circuits in zebrafish.
abstract: Two recent studies used a virtual hunting assay and functional imaging to identify prey-capture circuits in zebrafish. Together they show that the optic tectum and a pretectal region are two retinorecipient areas important for the recognition and capture of prey.
