Electric Organ Discharge Frequency Modulations Evoked in Response to Jamming Stimuli in the Weakly Electric Brown Ghost Knifefish (Apteronotus Leptorynchus)
Gymnotiform electric fish emit a weak electric organ discharge (EOD) for the purpose of electrolocation. Although individual fish emit at unique EOD frequencies, they can actively modulate the frequency of their EODs during social interactions with conspecifics. Gradual frequency shifts occur …

Multisensory integration in weakly electric fish
… were studied. The first category of stimulus is electrical signals with frequencies below 50 Hz that are encoded in the activity of ampullary receptors. The second category is amplitude modulations of the electric organ discharge, which are encoded by p-type tuberous receptors. Six multisensory …

System identification and modeling of primary electrosensory afferent response dynamics in the weakly electric fish Apteronotus leptorhynchus
… in the electrosensory system of weakly electric fish involves the encoding of changes in transdermal potential into trains of action potentials in primary afferent nerve fibers. Using amplitude modulations (AMs) of the electric organ discharge (EOD), we systematically studied the …

Adaptive radiation, speciation, and reproductive isolation in African weakly electric fish : (Genus Campylomormyrus, Mormyridae, Teleostei)
… is to better understand the relevance of weak electricity in the adaptive radiation of the African mormyrid fish. The chosen model taxon, the genus Campylomormyrus, exhibits a wide diversity of electric organ discharge (EOD) waveform types. Their EOD is age, sex, and species specific and is an …
