An Integrated Perspective of Evolution and Development: From Genes to Function to Ear, Lateral Line and Electroreception [PDF]

open access: goldDiversity, 2021
Four sensory systems (vestibular, lateral line, electroreception, auditory) are unique and project exclusively to the brainstem of vertebrates. All sensory neurons depend on a common set of genes (Eya1, Sox2, Neurog1, Neurod1) that project to a dorsal ...

Calcium-Activated Big-Conductance (BK) Potassium Channels Traffic through Nuclear Envelopes into Kinocilia in Ray Electrosensory Cells [PDF]

open access: yesCells, 2023
Electroreception through ampullae of Lorenzini in the little skate, Leucoraja erinacea, involves functional coupling between voltage-activated calcium channels (CaV1.3, cacna1d) and calcium-activated big-conductance potassium (BK) channels (BK, kcnma1 ...

Adaptive shift of active electroreception in weakly electric fish for troglobitic life [PDF]

open access: goldFrontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2023
The adaptive-shift hypothesis for the evolution of cave-dwelling species posits that ancestor species in surface habitats had exaptations for subterranean life that were exploited when individuals invaded caves.

Excitatory and inhibitory synaptic mechanisms at the first stage of integration in the electroreception system of the shark [PDF]

open access: goldFrontiers in Cellular Neuroscience, 2014
High impulse rate in afferent nerves is a common feature in many sensory systems that serve to accommodate a wide dynamic range. However, the first stage of integration should be endowed with specific properties that enable efficient handling of the ...

Treatment strategies for intrauterine adhesion: focus on the exosomes and hydrogels [PDF]

open access: yesFrontiers in Bioengineering and Biotechnology, 2023
Intrauterine adhesion (IUA), also referred to as Asherman Syndrome (AS), results from uterine trauma in both pregnant and nonpregnant women. The IUA damages the endometrial bottom layer, causing partial or complete occlusion of the uterine cavity.

The Spleen Virome of Australia’s Endemic Platypus Is Dominated by Highly Diverse Papillomaviruses [PDF]

open access: yesViruses
The platypus (Ornithorhynchus anatinus), a unique monotreme, represents a pivotal point in mammalian evolution with its distinctive traits, such as electroreception and venom production.

The lateral line and electrosensory systems of two holocephalans [PDF]

open access: yesScientific Reports
The mechanosensory (lateral line) and electrosensory systems are two important non-visual sensory modalities, especially in low light environments.
