Abstract:
For many aquatic animals, the electrosense is an important sensory system used to detect prey or conspecifics at short to medium range and for long-range orientation. Passive electroreceptive animals sense the minute electric fields of animate and inanimate sources and it has been thought that they are most sensitive to sources that modulate the field around a few Hertz. Our data on the properties of the electrosensory system in the paddlefish reveal that the firing rate of electrosensory brain stem neurons represents the first derivative of the stimulus, i.e. the rate of change in intensity o

Abstract:
Oscillatory and burst discharge is recognized as a key element of signal processing from the level of receptor to cortical output cells in most sensory systems. The relevance of this activity for electrosensory processing has become increasingly apparent for cells in the electrosensory lateral line lobe (ELL) of gymnotiform weakly electric fish. Burst discharge by ELL pyramidal cells can be recorded in vivo and has been directly associated with feature extraction of electrosensory input. In vivo recordings have also shown that pyramidal cells are differentially tuned to the frequency of amplit

Abstract:
Short interspike intervals such as those that occur during burst firing are hypothesized to be distinct features of the neural code. Although a number of correlations between the occurrence of burst events and aspects of the stimulus have been identified, the relationship between burst characteristics and information transfer is uncertain. Pyramidal cells in the electrosensory lobe of the weakly electric fish, Apteronotus leptorhynchus, respond to dynamic broadband electrosensory stimuli with bursts and isolated spikes. In the present study, we mimic synaptic input during sensory stimulation b

Abstract:
Weakly electric fish generate an electric field surrounding their body by means of an electric organ typically located within the trunk and tail. Electroreceptors scattered over the surface of the body encode the amplitude and timing of the electric organ discharge (EOD), and central components of the electrosensory system analyze the information provided by the electroreceptor afferents. The electrosensory system is used for electrolocation, for the detection and analysis of objects near the fish which distort the EOD and for electrocommunication. Since the electric organ is typically located

Abstract:
Sensory stimuli typically activate many receptors at once and therefore should lead to increases in correlated activity among central neurons. Such correlated activity could be a critical feature in the encoding and decoding of information in central circuits. Here we characterize correlated activity in response to two biologically relevant classes of sensory stimuli in the primary electrosensory nuclei, the electrosensory lateral line lobe, of the weakly electric fish Apteronotus leptorhynchus. Our results show that these neurons can display significant correlations in their baseline activiti

Abstract:
A quantitative frequency-domain model of induction-based magnetoreception is presented for elasmobranch fishes. We show that orientation with respect to the geomagnetic field can be determined by synchronous detection of electrosensory signals at harmonics of the vestibular frequency. The sensitivity required for this compass-sense mechanism is shown to be less than that known from behavioral experiments. Recent attached-magnet experiments have called into doubt the induction-based mechanism for magnetoreception. We show that the use of attached magnets would interfere with an induction-based

Abstract:
Mathematical analyses and computer simulations are used to study the adaptation induced by plasticity at inhibitory synapses in a cerebellum-like structure, the electrosensory lateral line lobe (ELL) of mormyrid electric fish. Single-cell model results are compared with results obtained at the system level in vivo. The model of system level adaptation uses detailed temporal learning rules of plasticity at excitatory and inhibitory synapses onto Purkinje-like neurons. Synaptic plasticity in this system depends on the time difference between pre- and postsynaptic spikes. Adaptation is measured b

1. Physiologically and morphologically identified primary afferent fibers from mormyromast electroreceptor organs were recorded intracellularly. The fiber recordings were made from the nerve root of the posterior lateral line nerve, where the fibers enter the brain, and from the electrosensory lateral line lobe (ELL), near the central terminals of the fibers. 2. The intracellular recordings reveal a variety of potentials, synaptic and nonsynaptic, in addition to the large orthodromic action potentials from the periphery. The goal of the present study was to describe and interpret these various
