... and activity in the reticulospinal system of zebrafish larvae ( Bhattacharyya et al., 2017 ). Interestingly, the Mauthner cells were always recruited in rapid but stereotyped C -starts, but never in the more variable fast-starts of the larvae. Based on these findings, the authors suggested an evolutionary...

... not useful for animals with more variable rapid behaviours. At least morphologically, this expectation is clearly not supported by our findings in the archerfish reticulospinal system. However, the advent of the predictive C -starts has also not led to a major re-shaping in the archerfish Mauthner cell...
