Gaze-stabilizing central vestibular neurons project asymmetrically to extraocular motoneuron pools
a) A single neuron that projects to extraocular motoneurons that move the eyes downward. Image is a top-down view of a larval zebrafish; magenta labels a single neuron. Green clumps of circles are motoneurons in the cranial nuclei. b) Side view of the same neuron; Magenta arrow points to neurons that move the eyes downward, blue to neurons that move the eyes upward, and white points to the prominent projection to eyes-down motoneurons.
Does having more neurons make you better at things? Groups of neurons with similar function tend to be
