Acetylcholine in the Electric Organ of Torpedo [PDF]
Feldberg and Fessard1 have shown that the electric organ of Torpedo marmorata is activated by acetylcholine (ACh) and that it contains a substance like ACh, as determined by bioassay, equivalent to between 40 and 100 µg ACh/g tissue. It has been suggested recently2,3 that not all the material extracted from nervous tissue and bioassayed as ACh is in ...

Induced electric conductivity in organic polymer
Polydiphenylenephthalide (PDP) belongs to the class of carbocyclic organic electroactive polymers, which exhibit electric conductive properties when an external electric field and/or mechanical stress is applied. In this work, the transport properties of thin-film layered lead–PDP–lead structures were experimentally studied in a wide temperature range.

First record of Gymnotus henni (Albert, Crampton and Maldonado, 2003) in Panama: phylogenetic position and electric signal characterization [PDF]
We present the first record of the weakly electric fish Gymnotus henni in Panama, which also represents the first record of Gymnotus in the Pacific slope of the country. One specimen was collected in a tributary of the Chucunaque River in the Tuira basin.

XX. The electric organ of the skate.—The electric organ of raia radiata [PDF]
Abstract The Structure of the Electric Organ of Raia radiata.—The development of the electric discs of Raia batis and the structure of the electric cups of Raia circularis having been already described, I shall now give an account of the organ of Raia radiata, partly by way of indicating in what respects it differs in structure from ...

Eigenmannia lineata is a tropical South American gymnotiform fish that is both electrogenic and electroreceptive. Its electric organ generates a constant-frequency wave discharge (EOD) that is sexually dimorphic in waveform and harmonic content ...

Differentiation of courtship songs in parapatric sibling species of dwarf stonebashers from southern Africa (Mormyridae, Teleostei) [PDF]
We describe the nocturnal courtship songs of male dwarf stonebashers, Pollimyrus castelnaui, from the Okavango River and its inland delta. We examined the question of whether the songs are sufficiently differentiated from those of its parapatric sibling ...
