Specimen: Neural activity in an entire zebrafish brain in vivo. The video, which shows fast 3D recordings of the entire larval brain (ca. 100,000 neurons), depicts, for the first time, an almost exhaustive view of single-neuron activity in the brain of a living vertebrate

Technique: Custom-built simultaneous multi-view light sheet microscopy

Co-prizewinners: Fernando Amat and Misha Ahrens
