Recent advances in the study of electroreception.
Recent studies on electroreception in fish have focused on the structure and function of recurrent descending pathways, efference copy mechanisms, and multiple neuronal maps involved in the processing of sensory information. Studies on a neuronal oscillator have revealed that different neuronal inputs modulate the pattern of oscillations to produce different forms of behavioral output.
