Differences in sodium channel densities in the apical dendrites of pyramidal cells of the electrosensory lateral line lobe.

The paper quantifies differences in sodium channel density across segments of the electrosensory lateral line lobe and links these differences to burst coding and network regulation.

Neural processing of communication signals: The extent of sender-receiver matching varies across species of Apteronotus

This study compares neural coding strategies in two closely related weakly electric fish species, finding differences in how they encode communication signals, which correlates with their behavioral use of these signals.

Task-specific sensory coding strategies matched to detection and discrimination behaviors in Apteronotus leptorhynchus

The paper shows that Apteronotus leptorhynchus uses two distinct neural coding strategies for detection and discrimination tasks, with behavioral performance matching coding strategies.
