Oxygen availability affects the sensory-response resilience to heating. (A) Mean fluorescence image of the brain (dashed gray line) of an agar-embedded, Tg(elavl3:GCaMP6s) 5-d-old fish under an epifluorescence microscope (same setup as in Fig. 5B). A, anterior; L, lateral. (B) Representative light response to a red-light flash specifically activating the optic tecti in the same fish as in A. (C) Percentage of responses to light flashes in the optic tectum during heat ramping with water oxygen level of 60% (hypoxia; magenta circles; n = 14), 100% (normoxia; black circles; n = 11), or 150% (hyperoxia; cyan circles; n = 13) of air-saturated water (Methods) (SI Appendix, Table S10). Temp, temperature.
