Therapies with weak, non-ionizing electromagnetic fields comprise FDA-approved
treatments such as Tumor Treating Fields (TTFields) that are used for adjuvant therapy of …

Central pattern generators play a critical role in the neural control of rhythmic behaviors. One
of their characteristic features is the ability to modulate the oscillatory output. An important …

The electric fish Apteronotus leptorhynchus emits a high‐frequency electric organ discharge
(EOD) sensed by specialized electroreceptors (P‐units) distributed across the fish's skin …

Background Fish are a diverse group of vertebrates with very different brain structures. The
study of the neurobiology of fish can thus lead to many important insights on information …

Although serotonergic innervation of sensory brain areas is ubiquitous, its effects on sensory
information processing remain poorly understood. We investigated these effects in …

The tuning of neuronal responsiveness to specific stimulus frequencies is an important
computation across many sensory modalities. The weakly electric fish Apteronotus …

Sexually dimorphic behaviors are often regulated by androgens and estrogens. Steroid
receptors and metabolism are control points for evolutionary changes in sexual dimorphism …

Sexually dimorphic behaviors develop under the influence of sex steroids, which induce
reversible changes in the underlying neural network of the brain. However, little is known …

Sensory neurons encode natural stimuli by changes in firing rate or by generating specific
firing patterns, such as bursts. Many neural computations rely on the fact that neurons can …

Pyramidal cells of the apteronotid ELL have been shown to display a characteristic
mechanism of burst discharge, which has been shown to play an important role in sensory …
