Corollary discharge is an important brain function that allows animals to distinguish external
from self-generated signals, which is critical to sensorimotor coordination. Since discovery of …

The brain is an intricate network with complex organizational principles facilitating a
concerted communication between single-neurons, distinct neuron populations, and remote …

Brain region size generally scales allometrically with brain size, but mosaic shifts in brain
region size independent of brain size have been found in several lineages and may be …

Time is a fundamental dimension of all biological events and it is often assumed that
animals have the capacity to track the duration of experienced events (known as interval …

A robotic fish has been developed to create a mixed bio-hybrid system made up of weakly
electric fish and a mobile dummy fish. Weakly electric fish are capable of interacting with …

Many animals use acoustic signals to attract a potential mating partner. In fruit flies
(Drosophila melanogaster), the courtship pulse song has a species-specific interpulse …

The communication behaviors of vocal fish and electric fish are among the vertebrate social
behaviors best understood at the level of neural circuits. Both forms of signaling rely on …

Mormyrid weakly electric fish produce short, pulse-type electric organ discharges for actively
probing their environment and to communicate with conspecifics. Animals emit sequences of …

African weakly-electric fishes (Mormyridae) are able to communicate through species-
specific electric signals; this feature might have favoured the evolutionary radiation observed …

Mormyrid weakly electric fish produce electric organ discharges (EODs) for active
electrolocation and electrocommunication. These pulses are emitted with variable …
