Fishes are able to detect and perceive the hydrodynamic and physical environment they
inhabit and process this sensory information to guide the resultant behaviour through their …

Fish brains and sensory organs may vary greatly between species. With an estimated total of
25 000 species, fish represent the largest radiation of vertebrates. From the agnathans to the …

This paper reviews the recent studies of the lateral line in fishes. The structure of free canal
neuromasts, their receptor units, lateral line canals, vesicle of Savi, innervation, size, and the …

Knowledge of the development and evolution of the neural crest sheds light on many of the
oldest unanswered questions in developmental biology. What is the role of germ layers in …

Zebrafish and other fish exhibit hair cells in the lateral-line neuromasts which are structurally
and functionally similar to mammalian inner ear hair cells. To facilitate drug screening for …

Morphological, physiological, behavioral, and developmental studies of the
mechanosensory lateral line system are used to define sources of morphological and …

ABSTRACT Lake Michigan mottled sculpin, Cottus bairdi, exhibit a naturally occurring and
unconditioned orienting response that can be triggered by both live prey and chemically …

The development of the cranial lateral line canals and neuromast organs are described in
postembryonic zebrafish (0–80 days postfertilization). Cranial canal development …

The extant holocephalans belong to the Subclass Euchondrocephali, a group of
chondrichthyan fishes defined by the presence of a primitive autodiastylic suspensorium …

The relationship between morphology of the mechanosensory lateral line system and
behavior is essentially unknown in elasmobranch fishes. Gross anatomy and spatial …
