Zebrafish Exploit Visual Cues and Geometric Relationships to Form a Spatial Memory

Open access

Published version of a preprint

Abstract

Animals use salient cues to navigate in their environment, but their specific cognitive strategies are largely unknown. We developed a conditioned place avoidance paradigm to discover whether and how zebrafish form spatial memories. In less than an hour, juvenile zebrafish, as young as 3 weeks, learned to avoid the arm of a Y-maze that was cued with a mild electric shock. Interestingly, individual fish solved this task in different ways: by staying in the safe center of the maze or by preference for one, or both, of the safe arms. In experiments in which the learned patterns were swapped, rotated, or replaced, the animals could transfer the association of safety to a different arm or to a different pattern using either visual cues or location as the conditioned stimulus. These findings show that juvenile zebrafish exhibit several complementary spatial learning modes, which generate a flexible repertoire of behavioral strategies.

Figure 1 The Conditioned Place Avoidance (CPA) Paradigm (A) Experimental setup. (B) Measures of fish performance in the paradigm, top: arm occupancy (OC); bottom: arm entry frequency (EF); middle: schematic for the calculation of the preference scores for OC/EF. Positive values of the scores correspond to arm preference; negative values correspond to arm avoidance. Red color represents the shocked arm, black and gray represent the safe arms. (C) Left: moving averages of the OC/EF scores in a 2-h control experiment (mean ± SEM). Right: box plots for OC/EF scores in the first and the last 5 min of the control experiments (Mann-Whitney test, n = 24 fish). Box plots show median and quartiles; whiskers show 1.5x interquartile range; dots show values for individual fish; prime symbol stands for minutes. (D) There is no significant preference for any of the visual patterns (ANOVA, n = 24 fish). Box plot annotations are the same as in (C). (E) Distributions of amplitudes for spontaneous (gray) and shock-triggered swim bouts (red). Age of the fish is between 20 and 27 days post fertilization. (F) Pseudo-random 1D walk model used to evaluate CPA measures. Bout amplitude S for simulated movement was drawn from a Gamma distribution, amplitude in the conditioned arm was multiplied by a speed ratio α. (G) Top: model without learning. Bottom: model with learning. Learning rule was implemented by decreasing the probability of entry into the conditioned arm. Middle and right: moving averages of EF and OC scores. Black/gray lines correspond to simulations with different speed ratios α. Dashed vertical blue lines mark the areas where moving average combined information from two sessions. Arrowheads mark the differences in the OC/EF scores between top and bottom. Moving averages are calculated with a 5-min time window and a 30-s time step. See also Table S1.

Figure 5 Diverse Strategies Used to Avoid the Conditioned Arm (A) Top: schematic of the maze during the conditioning session. Bottom: hierarchical clustering of arm occupancies in the last 5 min of the conditioning session reveals three groups: 4 fish preferring the center, 9 fish not avoiding the conditioned arm, and 27 avoiding fish. Each group is presented as a table, one row per fish. Columns correspond to maze arms (from left to right: the conditioned arm, the preferred safe arm, the other safe arm) and the center. Each cell shows a color-coded occupancy value in the particular compartment of the maze for a particular fish, with the logarithmic blue-to-red color scheme for the maze arms and the gray color scheme for the maze center. (B) Top: schematic of the maze during the test session. The rows in (A) and (B) correspond to the same fish. Rows within each group are ordered by their similarity to each other in the hierarchical tree in the test session. (C) Example trajectories of individual fish in the last 5 min of habituation, in the first and last 5 min of conditioning, and in the first and second 5 min of test session. Top: a fish uses the central compartment as a “safe haven.” Upper middle: a non-avoiding fish revisits the conditioned arm despite continued shocks. Lower middle: a fish prefers one safe arm. Bottom: a fish swims in both safe arms. The conditioned arm is depicted with gray background for the habituation session, blue for the conditioning session, and again gray for the test session. The orientation of the conditioned arm varied in the experiments and is shown here on the left for clarity.

Bottom: hierarchical clustering reveals three groups: 1 center-preferring, 5 non-avoiding, and 25 avoiding fish. (E) Arm occupancies during the test session in experiments with pattern rotation. The conditioned pattern moves into the preferred safe arm, thus creating a conflict between avoidance and preference cues. The pattern from the preferred arm moves into the non-preferred arm; the pattern from the non-preferred arm moves into the previously conditioned arm. Occupancy groups correspond to the groups identified in (D). (F) Example trajectories of individual fish before and after the pattern rotation. Top: a fish prefers the center. Upper middle: a fish moves its preference following the preferred pattern and starts avoiding its previously preferred arm. Lower middle: a fish ignores the rotation and stays in its preferred arm despite the presence of the conditioned pattern. Bottom: another fish also ignores the rotation and stays in its preferred arm. See also Figure S4.

Figure 7 Diverse Strategies for Conditioned Place Avoidance Among Individual Animals Center visitors could avoid all arms. One-arm visitors prefer one arm: either a pattern or a location in the maze. Two-arm visitors avoid the conditioned arm: either by avoiding the conditioned arm or by a more sophisticated strategy, e.g., learning the two safe patterns or the combination of visual and location cues in the maze.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
