Molecular basis of ancestral vertebrate electroreception [PDF]
Nature, 2017 Elasmobranch fishes, including sharks, rays, and skates, use specialized electrosensory organs called ampullae of Lorenzini to detect extremely small changes in environmental electric fields.

Behavioral and anatomical evidence for electroreception in the bottlenose dolphin (Tursiops truncatus) [PDF]
The Anatomical Record, 2021 In the order of cetacean, the ability to detect bioelectric fields has, up to now, only been demonstrated in the Guiana dolphin (Sotalia guianensis) and is suggested to facilitate benthic feeding.

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

Electroreception in monotremes [PDF]
Journal of Experimental Biology, 1999 ABSTRACT I will briefly review the history of the bill sense of the platypus, a sophisticated combination of electroreception and mechanoreception that coordinates information about aquatic prey provided from the bill skin mechanoreceptors and electroreceptors, and provide an evolutionary account of electroreception in the three extant ...

The bee, the flower, and the electric field: electric ecology and aerial electroreception [PDF]
Journal of Comparative Physiology, 2017 Bees and flowering plants have a long-standing and remarkable co-evolutionary history. Flowers and bees evolved traits that enable pollination, a process that is as important to plants as it is for pollinating insects.

Prey can detect predators via electroreception in air [PDF]
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of AmericaSignificance Our study reveals the finding that some terrestrial animals can detect the electric field emanating from their electrostatically charged predators and use this sense to initiate defensive behaviors.

Current BiologyElectroreception is the capacity of living organisms to detect the presence of electricity, usually studied in the aquatic environment. Electroreception in air, however, has received much less attention until relatively recently. Understanding how and why aerial electroreception may work requires a multidisciplinary framework, anchored in both the ...

Survey of temporal coding of sensory information [PDF]
Frontiers in Computational NeuroscienceHere we present evidence for the ubiquity of fine spike timing and temporal coding broadly observed across sensory systems and widely conserved across diverse phyla, spanning invertebrates and vertebrates. A taxonomy of basic neural coding types includes

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