Receptive field organization of electrosensory neurons in the paddlefish ( Polyodon spathula)

Paddlefish use their electrosense to locate small water fleas (daphnia), their primary prey, in three-dimensional space. High sensitivity and a representation of object location are essential for this task. High sensitivity can be achieved by convergence of information from a large number of recepto...
