In the article "Fish Watches Food. Scientists Watch Fish’s Thoughts”, by Ed Yong, Japanese scientists modified a larval zebrafish’s neurons to produce a bright green glow whenever they fire by injecting a jellyfish protein called GFP which gives a bright green glow when neurons pass signals to one another allowing the scientists to see its brain activity. Since larval zebrafishes’ bodies are transparent, it is like it’s “giving a direct window into their brain" (Yong 1). The scientists focused putting GFP inside the zebrafish’s optic tectum. One of the scientist, Akira Muto, observed how the zebrafish reacted to a tiny spot. He found out
