Optokinetic response has been widely used to assess the visual functions of larval zebrafish. Nevertheless, the standard protocol for larval fish is not yet readily applicable in adults^1-5. Here, we introduce how to measure the OKR of adult zebrafish using a new protocol which is established in our lab.
