Summary

Automatic Translation

Optokinetic response has been widely used to assess the visual functions of larval zebrafish. Nevertheless, the standard protocol for larval fish is not yet readily applicable in adults^1-5. Here, we introduce how to measure the OKR of adult zebrafish using a new protocol which is established in our lab.
