In the vertebrate brain, mechanisms leading to the incorporation of newborn neurons into already functional networks still remain poorly understood. Indeed, since most of the studies have been performed at the single-cell level, a detailed description of the circuit dynamics is lacking. To investigate this phenomenon, I have developed a pioneer methodology using the zebrafish larva as an experimental model and a multidisciplinary approach combining genetics, two-photon microscopy and optogenetics to monitor the developing activity of genetically targeted newborn neurons and the surrounding matured networks, in an intact and non-anesthetized vertebrate. Using this technique I have described for the first time, and in the time course of sever...
