Daily changes in the electric behavior of weakly electric fish naturally persist in constant darkness and are socially synchronized [PDF]
Biology Open, 2018 Daily rhythms allow anticipation of changes and allocation of energy to better cope with predictable events. Rhythms in behavior result from a complex combination of physiological processes timed by the nervous system and synchronized with external ...

Peripheral sensory coding through oscillatory synchrony in weakly electric fish [PDF]
eLife, 2015 Adaptations to an organism's environment often involve sensory system modifications. In this study, we address how evolutionary divergence in sensory perception relates to the physiological coding of stimuli.

The Electric Sense of Weakly Electric Fish [PDF]
Annual Review of Physiology, 1984 Recent studies of electroreception have been particularly successful in three different areas: Electroreceptors are tuned to the dominant frequency of the animal's EOD, and their tuning follows natural and experimentally induced shifts in EOD frequency.

Modeling the electric field of weakly electric fish [PDF]
Journal of Experimental Biology, 2006 SUMMARYWeakly electric fish characterize the environment in which they live by sensing distortions in their self-generated electric field. These distortions result in electric images forming across their skin. In order to better understand electric field generation and image formation in one particular species of electric fish, Apteronotus ...

Multielectrode registration of episodic discharges generated by weakly electric fishes [PDF]
Известия высших учебных заведений: Прикладная нелинейная динамика, 2022 Purpose of this study introduces a multielectrode array (MEA) registration system in order to generate electric field images of the episodic discharges generated by weakly electric fish. A multielectrode registration system has several important features:
