Circadian clock works whether or not eyes do

Caption

To determine circadian clock activity, the pattern of spontaneous locomotor activity in zebrafish larvae, with or without functional eyes, is evaluated by measuring the distance they travel in constant dark conditions after 5 days of exposure to a light-dark cycle. The black areas along the horizontal axis correspond to dark conditions; and the grey areas, to light conditions.
