The transparency of zebrafish larvae allows non-invasive visualization of enteric neurons (A), peristalsis (B), and gut transit (C). (A) Microscopy images of Tg(phox2bb:GFP) zebrafish larvae at 5 dpf. Scale bar represents 500 μm (top), 200 μm (middle) and 50 μm (bottom). (B) Still image of the zebrafish intestine (top) and spatiotemporal map (STMap) of gut flow (bottom). Scale bar represents 200 μm. (C) Microscopic images of Tg(phox2bb:GFP) zebrafish larvae fed with fluorescently labeled food, showing typical intestinal transit and describing the transitional zone. Graphs showing phenotypical scoring of larvae directly after food intake (top graph) and 16 h after food intake (bottom graph). Scale bar represents 200 μm.
