From sparks to spikes: information processing in the electrosensory systems of fish.
Recent work on electrosensory systems in fish has combined traditional neuroethological approaches with quantitative methods for characterizing neural coding. These studies have shed light on general issues in sensory processing, including how peripheral sensory receptors encode external stimuli and how these representations are transformed at subsequent stages of processing.
