video: This image shows touch response of zebrafish embryos expressing BLINK1. Control embryo (GFP-injected), 2 day-old, was exposed to 1h of blue light and tested by mechanical stimulation with the tip of a pipette. Next, BLINK1-injected embryo was tested in the same way. This material relates to a paper that appeared in the May 15, 2015 issue of Science, published by AAAS.
