Communicative & Integrative Biology, 2009 A unique evolutionary specialization of African weakly electric fish (Mormyridae) is their ability to produce and perceive electric signals. Mormyrids use their Electric Organs Discharge (EOD) for electrolocation and electrocommunication. Here we discuss

Spatial and temporal distribution of Gymnorhamphichthys rondoni (Gymnotiformes: Rhamphichthyidae) in a long-term study of an Amazonian terra firme stream, Leticia - Colombia [PDF]
Neotropical Ichthyology, 2019 Weakly electric fishes continually emit electric organ discharges (EOD) as a means of communication and localization of objects in their surroundings.

The cytoskeleton of the electric tissue of Electrophorus electricus, L.
Anais da Academia Brasileira de Ciências, 2000 The electric eel Electrophorus electricus is a fresh water teleost showing an electrogenic tissue that produces electric discharges. This electrogenic tissue is distributed in three well-defined electric organs which may be found symmetrically along both

, 2010 I argue that we should reject the sparse view that there are or could be only a small number of rather distinct senses. When one appreciates this then one can see that there is no need to choose between the standard criteria that have been proposed as ...

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Enteropathogenic E. coli (EPEC) infects the human intestinal epithelium, resulting in severe illness and diarrhoea. In this study, we compared the infection of cancer‐derived cell lines with human organoid‐derived models of the small intestine. We observed a delayed in attachment, inflammation and cell death on primary cells, indicating that host ...

BIO Web of Conferences, 2016 Sensory systems have been shaped by evolution to extract information that is relevant for decision making. In order to understand the mechanisms used by sensory systems for filtering the incoming stream of sensory input, it is important to have a ...

The complete mitochondrial genome of electric catfish Malapterurus electricus and its phylogeny
Mitochondrial DNA. Part B. Resources, 2022 Electric catfishes evolved the substantial electric organ that can instantly release powerful high-voltage electricity. To better study the phylogenetic position of the electric fish (Malapterurus electricus) in catfishes, in this study, we presented the

Mechanisms of parasite‐mediated disruption of brain vessels
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Parasites can affect the blood vessels of the brain, often causing serious neurological problems. This review explains how different parasites interact with and disrupt these vessels, what this means for brain health, and why these processes matter. Understanding these mechanisms may help us develop better ways to prevent or treat brain infections in ...

The Astonishing Behavior of Electric Eels
Frontiers in Integrative Neuroscience, 2019 The remarkable physiology of the electric eel (Electrophorus electricus) made it one of the first model species in science. It was pivotal for understanding animal electricity in the 1700s, was investigated by Humboldt and Faraday in the 1800s, was ...

eLife, 2022 Brain region size generally scales allometrically with brain size, but mosaic shifts in brain region size independent of brain size have been found in several lineages and may be related to the evolution of behavioral novelty.
