Abstract:The electromotor neural system in weakly electric fish is a network responsible for active electroreception and electrolocation. This system controls the timing of pulse generation in the electrical signals used by these fish for extracting information from the environment and communicating with other specimens. Ethological studies related to fish mating, exploratory, submissive or aggressive behaviors have described distinct sequences of pulse intervals (SPIs). Accelerations, scallops, rasps, and cessations a… Show more
