Just some sensory stuff
Visual, auditory, olfactory, tactile etc.
What is sensory input?
Immobilized animals to study motor neuron activity without movement
What is fictive behavior?
Integration of spatial orientation and movement.
What is proprioception?
Pacemaker cells that control escape swimming.
What are Descending interneurons (in the CPG)?
Directional response to stimuli
What is Secondary Orientation
Part of the environment that an animal can actually perceive with its sense organs and nervous system
What is Umwelt concept?
Rhythmic locomotor pattern generation
What are Central pattern generators?
Modified muscle cells that generate electric discharge
What is Electrocytes?
Cells in the nucleus laminaris that encode direction in the azimuth plane.
What are Coincident detectors?
movement of an organism towards or away from a current of water.
What is rheotaxis
Model that produces a greater response from the animal than the natural object.
What is a supranormal stimulus?
Spinal reflex intended to protect the body from damaging stimuli.
What is flexion reflex?
Behavior that allows knifefish to adjust frequency.
What is jamming avoidance response?
What are Thalamic –pretectal 3 neurons (TP3)?
Parts of the Labyrinth
What is the Otolith organ, Semicircular canal and Cochlea
Difference in arrival time of a sound between two ears.
What is the interaural time difference?
Sensory neurons that mediate sensory perception of touch stimuli.
What is Rohan-beard neurons?
Type of receptor that detects electric organ discharges.
Cells that respond to P-afferent in the Electrosensory lateral line lobe (ELL)?
What are Basilar pyramidal and non-basilar pyramidal cells?
Change in membrane potential to become more positive.
What is depolarization?
Independent and heterogeneous features of a stimulus are additive regarding their effect on behavior
What is the Law of heterogeneous summation?
This receptor responds to glutamate and has slow kinetics.
What is NMDA receptors?
Electric organ discharge serves which two purposes?
Electric communication and active electrolocation
Neurons that receive project from Rohan beard cells and project contralateral to (half) central pattern generators (CPG).
What are Dorsolateral commissural interneurons?
The process of converting sensory signal to an electrical signal.
What is sensory transduction?
