TL;DR - Researchers developed a whole-body imaging system that records cellular activity across all zebrafish organs. It enables simultaneous observation of organ dynamics and reveals distributed circuits spanning the body.

Captures cellular activity throughout the entire zebrafish body.
Records dynamics across multiple organs within a unified imaging framework.
Identifies multiple distributed, body-wide cellular circuits.
The provided summary does not specify the imaging modality, resolution, or individual circuits discovered.
