Like stomatogastric activity in crustaceans, vocalization in teleosts and frogs, and locomotion
in mammals, the electric organ discharge (EOD) of weakly electric fish is a rhythmic and …

The neural bases of social behavior diversity in vertebrates have evolved in close
association with hypothalamic neuropeptides. In particular, arginine-vasotocin (AVT) is a key …

Fish body color changes play vital roles in adapting to ecological light environment and
influencing market value. However, the initial mechanisms governing the changes remain …

Despite recent advances that have elucidated the effects of collateral of motor commands on
sensory processing structures, the neural mechanisms underlying the modulation of active …

Neuronal networks can produce stable oscillations and synchrony that are under tight
control yet flexible enough to rapidly switch between dynamical states. The pacemaker …

Our long-term goal is to approach the understanding of the anatomical and physiological
bases for communication signal diversity in gymnotiform fishes as a model for vertebrate …

South American weakly electric fish (order Gymnotiformes) rely on a highly conserved and
relatively fixed electromotor circuit to produce species-specific electric organ discharges …

What's in an image? Arguably, this question is most often considered in the context of vision.
An observer can attempt an answer by considering the spatial pattern of color. Even in a …

Electric communication signals, produced by South American electric fish, vary across sexes
and species and present an ideal opportunity to examine the bases of signal diversity, and …

The activity of central pattern-generating networks (CPGs) may change under the control
exerted by various neurotransmitters and modulators to adapt its behavioral outputs to …
