The book examines the historical precedence for linking the auditory and lateral line systems, its structure and development, use of the lateral line system of zebrafish as a model system, physical principles governing the response properties of the lateral line, the behavioral relevance of this sensory system to the lives of fish, and an ...

role of the lateral line in natural fish behaviors in the rich tradition of sensory ecology and neuroethology. The overall goal of this chapter is to provide a better understanding of the neurobiological basis of behavior by considering how fish use their lateral line system to meet life’s basic necessities, such as finding food or

2006年1月1日 · This chapter reviews the morphology and behavioral relevance of the lateral line system and focuses on the peripheral and central processing of lateral line information.

The lateral line of teleost fish is usually visible externally as a row of small pores along the trunk and the head. These pores lead into an underlying canal, the lateral line canal. According to Parker (1904) the first people to recognise the pores of the lateral...

2013年1月1日 · The fish lateral line system is unique in its ability to sense water flow with two types of receptors, the canal neuromast (CN) and superficial neuromast (SN). Both include mechanosensory hair cells in the skin that are coupled to an extracellular cupula, which is deflected by flow.

2006年1月1日 · The lateral line system is an important component of the fish sensory system comprised of a series of specialized units called neuromasts, which include both ciliated hair cells and supporting cells. The neuromast cells are found along the surface of the fish head and body (Bleckmann, 2006) and function to detect variations in water pressure.

The lateral line, also called the lateral line organ (LLO), is a system of sensory organs found in fish, used to detect movement, vibration, and pressure gradients in the surrounding water. The sensory ability is achieved via modified epithelial cells , known as hair cells , which respond to displacement caused by motion and transduce these ...

Fish also have a lateral line system, also known as the lateralis system. It is a system of tactile sense organs located in the head and along both sides of the body. It is used to detect movement and vibration in the surrounding water.
