Origins of the spontaneous receptor potential in the tuberous organ in a mormyrid fish.
In an electroreceptor of a Mormyrid fish: 1. The correlations between the number of sensory cells in each receptor organ and the mode of the intervals of time between receptor potentials are not significant within the temperature ranges of 20.0-26.0 degrees C, 20.5-21.5 degrees C, 22.0-23.0 degrees C and are significant at a level of 4.9% within 25.0-26.0 degrees C. 2. The correlations between the mode of intervals of time between receptor potentials and temperature are significant at a level inferior to 1% for isolated receptor organs and also at a level of 5.8% for 21 different receptor organs from 9 different fishes.
