From: Stimulus-specific behavioral responses of zebrafish to a large range of odors exhibit individual variability

Fig. 4.

Variability of odor responses within and between individual zebrafish. a The average correlation (black line) between odor responses across trials within an individual fish is plotted for all odors. High correlations indicate low variability. Odor responses were represented by a vector of the seven behavioral metrics described in Fig. 3, averaged during the first 2 min of the odor delivery period. b Variability of odor responses across different fish. The average correlation (black line) between the average odor responses of all fish is plotted for all odors. The gray shaded area indicates SEM. c Summary of data in a and b. Food-related odors are in green, social-related odors in blue, decay odors in magenta, and alarm odors in red. Significant differences from the null distribution are indicated by the asterisk symbol (*) (permutation test, see the “Methods” section)
