Gymnotus carapo has an organ that generates electrical pulses (which propagate in the water around the animal) and an extensive electrical sensory system scattered throughout the body, both integrated into its nervous system, constituting an "electrical sense". Thus they are able to "see" an electrical image of their surroundings and establish a kind of electrical communication with their…
The objectives of this research project are to train the student in multidisciplinary techniques of biological systems preparation in the neuroscience studies field and to explore an open question about autonomous neural microcircuits. The student will make a systematic study of the effects of temperature in the periodical rhythm of food pumping produced by the neurons of the crustacean s…
Most neurons of a nervous system experience patterns of stimuli consisting on activity dependent discontinuous small drug puffs during normal operation. In this project we experimentally address the effects of glutamate in the in vitro normal operation of the stomatogastric ganglion of Callinectes sapidus. We will apply a real time stimuli protocol to address how different patterns emerge…

Pulse-type weakly electric fishes developed nervous systems able to communicate by producing and detecting pulsed electrical fields that propagate into water. While pulse shape is stereotyped, the pulse interval is highly variable (from tens of milliseconds to tens of seconds) and context dependent. Such electrocommunication allows a non-invasive study on how such neural signals, emergent…
