Ampullary Electroreceptors in Neurophysiological Instruction.

Peters, R. C.; And Others

Journal of Biological Education, v22 n1 p61-66 Spr 1988

Presents a model system designed for the electrophysiological investigation of single unit activity in intact anaesthetized animals. Illustrates how information is coded into action potential patterns by sense organs. Uses the ampullary electroreceptor of the brown bullhead catfish as an example. (Author/CW)
