Physiology of Lateral-Line Mechanoreceptors in a Teleost with Highly Branched, Multiple Lateral Lines

Brain, Behavior and Evolution, 2008
The physiological aspects of the lateral line of Xiphister atropurpureus – a teleost with multiple, highly branched lateral-line canals on each body side – were investigated. In terms of sensitivity and frequency response, the lateral line of Xiphister is similar to simple, unbranched lateral-line canals.

Developing the Lateral Line

Science Signaling, 2008
Fish use the lateral line to sense changes in pressure and water movements that may signal the arrival of food or predators. Nechiporuk and Raible now use genetics, cell transplantation, and live imaging to study lateral line development in zebrafish. In zebrafish, the lateral line develops from front to back, with a migrating zone of progenitor cells ...

Efferent neurons of the lateral line system and their innervation of lateral line branches in a euteleost and an osteoglossomorph

Anatomy and Embryology, 1996
The efferent neurons of the lateral line system of the euteleost Aplocheilus lineatus and the osteoglossomorph Pantodon buchholzi, both surface feeding fish, were examined by neuronal tract tracing. Besides horse-radish peroxidase, fluorescent dextrans were used as tracers to allow simultaneus visualization of projections from different lateral line ...

Hydrodynamic stimuli and the fish lateral line

Nature, 2000
Sensory systems need to distinguish biologically relevant stimuli from background noise. Here we investigate how the lateral-line mechanosensory system of the fish senses minute water motions1 in the vicinity while exposed to running water. We find that one class of receptor in the lateral line, the canal neuromasts, can respond to hydrodynamic stimuli

The Development of Lateral-Line Receptors in Eigenmannia (Teleostei, Gymnotiformes). II. The Electroreceptive Lateral-Line System

Brain, Behavior and Evolution, 2008
Weakly electric fish of the genus Eigenmannia were induced to spawn in conditions simulating the tropical rainy season. The skin of embryos of different ages was prepared for histological examination, and whole animals were examined by various histological methods and scanning electron microscopy.

Lateral Line System

1988
The lateral line system consists of water-movement-sensitive sensory organs in the epidermis of cyclostomes, fishes (Chondrichthyes, Osteichthyes), and aquatic stages of all three orders of amphibians. The phylogenetic origin of this system is not known.

Onset of neural function in the lateral line

Nature, 1979
The development of the nervous system includes the formation of specific neuronal connections. Some insight into the mechanisms by which these connections are made may be obtained by determining the order in which the elements of a developing system begin to function and examining any changes that may occur in the system shortly after it begins ...

Development of the lateral line system in Xenopus

Progress in Neurobiology, 1989
The lateral line system of fishes and amphibians consists of numerous epidermal mechano-receptors which are distributed over the whole body surface. As in other amphibians, the lateral line system of Xenopus develops from epidermal placodes situated on the head region of the embryo.

Evolution of Gnathostome Lateral Line Ontogenies

Brain, Behavior and Evolution, 2008
An outgroup analysis of multiple ontogenies provides the most robust approach to understanding phylogeny. Such an analysis of the lateral line system among extinct and extant gnathostomes reveals that lateral line placodes constitute the basic ontogenetic unit responsible for the development of this system.
