What the Fish’s Eye Tells the Fish’s Brain

چکیده
In this issue of Neuron, Nikolaou et al. (2012) place the first pins in the functional map of the optic tectum. They show that retinal ganglion cells coding for the trajectory of motion target the most superficial layer in the tectum, whereas ganglion cells carrying information on the orientation of stimuli target deeper layers.

The Effect of Salmon Fish’s Oil on Avoidance Learning in Mature Male Rats
Background & Objective: There is plenty of fatty acids of omega-3 in Salmon Fish that affect brain development and function, therefore, this study aimed to investigate the effect of Salmon fish’s oil on learning avoidance in mature male rats. Materials & Methods: In this empirical study, we used 40 mature male rats that were enrolled into control, sham and experimental groups. The...
متن کاملClosed - loop stabilization of the Jamming Avoidance Response 1 reveals its locally unstable and globally nonlinear dynamics
The Jamming Avoidance Response, or JAR, in the weakly electric fish has been analyzed at all levels of organization, from 9 whole-organism behavior down to specific ion channels. Nevertheless, a parsimonious description of the JAR behavior in terms of 10 a dynamical system model has not been achieved at least in part due to the fact that “avoidance” behaviors are both intrinsically 11 unstable ...
متن کاملHow the Brain Turns Down the Volume on Your Noisy Body
Dr. Sawtell, who is also professor of neuroscience at Columbia University Medical Center, and his team have largely tackled this issue using an unusual model system — a species of electric fish, called the elephantnose fish, from Africa that both generates and senses electricity. Their studies have revealed important insights into how circuits in the brains of these fish distinguish behaviorall...
متن کاملSimulation Fitting Method for Setting Motion Parameters of Robotic Fish
Based on analyses of motion control on biomimetic robot fish, this paper promotes an innovative theory of curve fitting which is an idea employed from Physics, and applies it on calculation of link-based robot fish’s motion parameters by simulation. Its efficiency and availability is proved via analyzing of the results.
متن کاملLinking ecology with parasite diversity in Neotropical fishes
A comparative analysis was performed to seek large-scale patterns in the relationships between a set of fish species traits (body size, type of environment, trophic level, schooling behaviour, depth range, mean habitat temperature, geographical range, ability to enter brackish waters and capability of migration) and the diversity of their metazoan parasite assemblages among 651 Neotropical fish...
