Source location encoding in the fish lateral line canal.
The position of a hydrodynamic dipole source, as encoded in a linear array of mechano-detecting neuromasts in the fish lateral line canal, was electrophysiologically investigated. Measured excitation patterns along the lateral line were compared to theoretical predictions and were found to be in good agreement. The results demonstrate that information on the position of a vibrating source from ...
متن کاملSynaptic Structures in the Lateral Line Canal Organ of the Teleost Fish Lota Vulgaris
This paper is a preliminary report on some of the results of electron microscopic studies on the lateral line canal organ of the teleost fish Lota vulgaris. It deals with the ultrastructure of the synaptic area on the hair cells of the sensory epithelium and describes the nerve endings as well as a complicated system of foldings of the hair cell plasma membranes enclosing portions of the hair c...
متن کاملWake tracking and the detection of vortex rings by the canal lateral line of fish.
Research on the lateral line of fish has mainly focused on the detection of oscillating objects. Yet many fish are able to track vortex wakes that arise from other fish. It is not yet known what the sensory input from a wake looks like and how fish can extract relevant information from it. We present a mathematical model to determine how vortices stimulate the canal lateral line and verify it b...
متن کاملThe Biophysics of the Fish Lateral Line
A distinctive feature of fishes is their ability to sense water flow with two types of receptors, called neuromasts, which are the functional units of the peripheral lateral line system. The superficial neuromasts (SNs) possess mechanosensory hair cells and project from the skin into the water at the body’s surface. This is similar to the flow-sensitive organs of amphibians (Kramer, 1933), ceph...
متن کاملComparative squamation of the lateral line canal pores in sharks.
The current study collected the first quantitative data on lateral line pore squamation patterns in sharks and assessed whether divergent squamation patterns are similar to experimental models that cause reduction in boundary layer turbulence. In addition, the hypothesis that divergent orientation angles are exclusively found in fast-swimming shark species was tested. The posterior lateral line...
