The Lateral Line System of Cyclostomes
1985In 1907, Ayers and Worthington reported that they found “fully formed and functional” lateral line grooves in Eptatretus stouti (Bdellostoma dombeyi). Earlier scientists had not been able to find lateral line grooves in hagfish and the report of Ayers and Worthington has not been generally accepted in the textbooks (Hardisty, 1979, p. 10; Starck, 1982,

Larval lampreys possess a functional lateral line system
Journal of Comparative Physiology A, 2006Morphology of larval lampreys' neuromasts was found to be very similar to that of adults. Activity in the lateral line nerve, elicited by a vibrating ball, indicated a functional lateralis system. Analysis revealed at least two populations of afferents, responding to opposite directions of water flow, with adapting responses.

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.

Metamorphic changes within the lateral-line system of Anura
Anatomy and Embryology, 1987The metamorphic loss of lateral-line organs, lateral-line nerves and second order lateral-line neurons was examined in two Anuran species. At the onset of metamorphic climax, terminals within the lateral-line neuropil showed accumulation of glycogen-like granules.

The Lateral Line System of Fish
2006Publisher Summary This chapter reviews the morphology and behavioral relevance of the lateral line system and focuses on the peripheral and central processing of lateral line information. The smallest functional unit of the lateral line system is the neuromast, a sensory structure that occurs freestanding on the skin (superficial neuromasts or SN) or

Information Processing by the Lateral Line System
2008This review covers four areas of research that have fruitfully contributed to our understanding of lateral line function within the past 10 years. One striking aspect of the lateral line system is its tremendous diversity. Recent findings, however, indicate a functional constancy that may be maintained by relatively subtle morphological features. Other

The Lateral Line System of Hagfishes (Craniata: Myxinoidea)
Acta Zoologica, 1997AbstractThe morphology of the peripheral lateral line system in Eptatretus stoutiiis described using a combination of electron microscopical, histological and immunocytochemical techniques. The epidermis and cranial nerves of Myxine glutinosawere also examined for evidence of a lateral line system.

Programs of cell division in the lateral line system
Trends in Neurosciences, 1986Abstract In the developing nematode, or in the embryonic nervous system of an insect or a leech, each cell divides and differentiates according to a precise and predictable program, and its progeny come to occupy precisely predictable positions 1 . The two types of regularity — in the programming of cell division and in the spatial disposition of the ...

Water Wave Analysis with the Lateral-Line System
1989The organization of water surface wave analysis with the lateral-line system has been investigated by electrophysiological recording and behavioral testing in the clawed frog, Xenopus laevis. In the afferent fibers, wave frequency is encoded by phase coupling of the discharges, while stimulus intensity is encoded over a range of 80 dB by phase coupling
