The influence of viscous hydrodynamics on the fish lateral-line system [PDF]
Integrative and Comparative Biology, 2009 Fish exhibit many behaviors that involve sensing water flows with their lateral-line system. In many situations, viscosity affects how the flow interacts with the body of the fish and the neuromasts of the lateral line. Here we discuss how viscosity influences the stimulus to the fish lateral-line system.

The mechanosensory lateral line system mediates activation of socially-relevant brain regions during territorial interactions [PDF]
Frontiers in Behavioral Neuroscience, 2016 Animals use multiple senses during social interactions and must integrate this information in the brain to make context-dependent behavioral decisions. For fishes, the largest group of vertebrates, the mechanosensory lateral line system provides crucial ...

A Review of Artificial Lateral Line in Sensor Fabrication and Bionic Applications for Robot Fish
Applied Bionics and Biomechanics, 2016 Lateral line is a system of sense organs that can aid fishes to maneuver in a dark environment. Artificial lateral line (ALL) imitates the structure of lateral line in fishes and provides invaluable means for underwater-sensing technology and robot fish ...

Micro-Machined Flow Sensors Mimicking Lateral Line Canal Neuromasts [PDF]
Micromachines, 2015 Fish sense water motions with their lateral line. The lateral line is a sensory system that contains up to several thousand mechanoreceptors, called neuromasts. Neuromasts occur freestanding on the skin and in subepidermal canals.

Genetic Architecture of Variation in the Lateral Line Sensory System of Threespine Sticklebacks
G3: Genes, Genomes, Genetics, 2012 Vertebrate sensory systems have evolved remarkable diversity, but little is known about the underlying genetic mechanisms. The lateral line sensory system of aquatic vertebrates is a promising model for genetic investigations of sensory evolution because

Physiological responses of mechanosensory systems in the head of larval zebrafish (Danio rerio)
Frontiers in Robotics and AI, 2023 The lateral line system of zebrafish consists of the anterior lateral line, with neuromasts distributed on the head, and the posterior lateral line, with neuromasts distributed on the trunk.
