Animals navigate within their environment. To do so effectively, they may use sensory cues and/or persistent internal representations that can encode their position in space. In this talk, I will present some projects from our lab that address different perspectives relating to navigation in larval zebrafish. These include the processing of momentary sensory stimuli, the extraction of more abstract stimulus representations such as valence, and representations conveying spatial information. Although we are still unable to unify all these concepts, I will argue that studies in larval zebrafish are contributing significantly to this goal.
