Androgens Alter Electric Organ Discharge Pulse Duration despite Stability in Electric Organ Discharge Frequency

Hormones and Behavior, 2001
Weakly electric fish in the genus Sternopygus emit a sinusoidal, individually distinct, and sexually dimorphic electric organ discharge (EOD) that is used in electrolocation and communication. Systemically applied androgens decrease EOD frequency, which is set by a medullary pacemaker nucleus, and increase pulse duration, which is determined by the ...

Electrolocation with an electric organ discharge waveform for biomimetic application

open access: yesAdaptive Behavior, 2011
Weakly electric fish use electric organ discharge (EOD) and their electroreceptors to identify prey, explore their surroundings, and communicate with other members of the same species. They are specialized in active electrolocation using a self-generated electric field, and they can sense distortion of their self-generated electric field caused by a ...
