Vision Drives Accurate Approach Behavior during Prey Capture in Laboratory Mice
The ability to genetically identify and manipulate neural circuits in the mouse is rapidly advancing our understanding of visual processing in the mammalian brain [1, 2]. However, studies investigating the circuitry that underlies complex ethologically relevant visual behaviors in the mouse have been primarily restricted to fear responses [3-5]. Here, we show that a laboratory strain of mouse (...
متن کاملActive Touch During Shrew Prey Capture
Although somatosensation in multiple whisker systems has been studied in considerable detail, relatively little information is available regarding whisker usage and movement patterns during natural behaviors. The Etruscan shrew, one of the smallest mammals, relies heavily on its whisker system to detect and kill its highly mobile insect prey. Here, we tracked whisker and body motion during prey...
متن کاملTactile experience shapes prey-capture behavior in Etruscan shrews
A crucial role of tactile experience for the maturation of neural response properties in the somatosensory system is well established, but little is known about the role of tactile experience in the development of tactile behaviors. Here we study how tactile experience affects prey capture behavior in Etruscan shrews, Suncus etruscus. Prey capture in adult shrews is a high-speed behavior that r...
متن کاملPrey Capture Behavior in an Arboreal African Ponerine Ant
I studied the predatory behavior of Platythyrea conradti, an arboreal ponerine ant, whereas most species in this subfamily are ground-dwelling. The workers, which hunt solitarily only around dusk, are able to capture a wide range of prey, including termites and agile, nocturnal insects as well as diurnal insects that are inactive at that moment of the Nyctemeron, resting on tree branches or und...
متن کامل[Visual system and prey capture behavior of larval zebrafish].
Studying neural circuits is a crucial step for understanding neural mechanisms underlying animal behaviors. Larval zebrafish is a low vertebrate animal model with incomparable advantages in neural circuit study. In this review, we describe the zebrafish visual system and its downstream targets, with special emphasis on their possible roles in prey capture behavior. Prey capture is executed main...
