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 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 ...

The electrogenicity of the Na+/K+-ATPase poses challenges for computation in highly active spiking cells [PDF]
eLifeThe evolution of the Na+/K+-ATPase laid the foundation for ion homeostasis and electrical signaling. While not required for restoration of ionic gradients, the electrogenicity of the pump (resulting from its 3:2 stoichiometry) is useful to prevent ...

A rare case report of gallbladder perforation caused by trauma [PDF]
Frontiers in MedicineIsolated gallbladder perforation in blunt trauma is rare, accounting for approximately 2% of abdominal trauma laparotomy patients, often leads to delayed diagnosis due to non-specific symptoms.

The transcriptional correlates of divergent electric organ discharges in Paramormyrops electric fish [PDF]
BMC Evolutionary Biology, 2020 Abstract Background Understanding the genomic basis of phenotypic diversity can be greatly facilitated by examining adaptive radiations with hypervariable traits. In this study, we focus on a rapidly diverged species group of mormyrid electric fish in the genus

Electric organ discharges and electric images during electrolocation [PDF]
Journal of Experimental Biology, 1999 ABSTRACT Weakly electric fish use active electrolocation – the generation and detection of electric currents – to explore their surroundings. Although electrosensory systems include some of the most extensively understood circuits in the vertebrate central nervous system, relatively little is known quantitatively about how fish ...

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.

Electric imaging through evolution, a modeling study of commonalities and differences. [PDF]
PLoS Computational Biology, 2014 Modeling the electric field and images in electric fish contributes to a better understanding of the pre-receptor conditioning of electric images. Although the boundary element method has been very successful for calculating images and fields, complex ...
