@Burbs17 @mcrair Anyone know of a good paper to cite about the spontaneous activity not being patterned in this species before vision onset? So that we can put it in the table...
...There is supposed to be no patterned spontaneous activity in fish before start of vision (vision proceeds almost immediately as the circuits are still developing to mediate visuo-motor behavior in swimming larvae at just 3 d.p.f.), basically just looking for a paper to cite.
This was mentioned at end of discussion of Demas, Cline Dev Neurobiol 2012, but they also said "recordings of spontaneous activity have not been taken from retinas of fish". But it is hard to believe that recordings of spontaneous population activity in the dark haven't been performed from fish retina within the first days after fertilization...
