Stimulus Filtering and Electroreception: Tuberous Electroreceptors in Three Species of Gymnotoid Fish
Carl Hopkins,Carl Hopkins +1 more
TL;DR: Electroreceptive neurons in the posterior branch of the anterior lateral line nerve of three species of electric fish (Gymnotoidei), Sternopygus macrums, Eigenmannia virescens, andApteronotus albifrons, show speciesspecific differences in the filtering of electrical stimuli.
Journal ArticleDOI
The jamming avoidance response of high frequency electric fish: I. General features
TL;DR: The ΔF sensitivity, dynamic range and other properties suggest that the biological significance of preserving a private frequency lies in the need of unknown brain mechanisms, that analyze the fish's own field for object detection, to function over a considerable range of distance from object to fish and therefore of voltage of a signal clearly theFish's own.
Journal ArticleDOI
Coding properties of two classes of afferent nerve fibers: high-frequency electroreceptors in the electric fish, Eigenmannia.
TL;DR: The known and the candidate codes by which neurons can represent information in streams of nerve impulses are cataloged, but for none of these, other than the familiar frequency coders, is a quantitative characterization available of the behavior of the impulse train as a function of intensity.
Journal ArticleDOI
Spike-frequency adaptation separates transient communication signals from background oscillations.
TL;DR: It is demonstrated how spike-frequency adaptation in general can facilitate extraction of signals of different time scales, specifically high-frequency signals embedded in slower oscillations.
Journal ArticleDOI
The phylogenetic distribution of electroreception: evidence for convergent evolution of a primitive vertebrate sense modality.
TL;DR: Elasmobranchia, Holocephala, Dipneusti, Crossopterygii, Polypteriformes and Chondrostei have the physiological and anatomical specializations in a common form consistent with a single origin in primitive vertebrates, as well as 3 or 4 independent inventions, presumably from mechanoreceptive lateral line organs and brain centers.
