recommendations! Published in 2018 at "Current Biology"

DOI: 10.1016/j.cub.2018.05.012

Abstract: Molecular variation contributes to the evolution of adaptive phenotypes, though it is often difficult to understand precisely how. The adaptively significant electric organ discharge behavior of weakly electric fish is the direct result of biophysical… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.neurol.2017.10.008

Abstract: When Edouard Brissaud noticed clinical similarities between pseudobulbar palsy and parkinsonism, he made the hypothesis that their lesions were located in similar regions, and identified the subthalamic nucleus and mesencephalon, more specifically, the locus niger… read more here.

recommendations! Published in 2019 at "IEEE Sensors Journal"

DOI: 10.1109/jsen.2019.2908822

Abstract: This paper presents a novel wireless underwater data acquisition system for sensing electric organ discharge (EOD) signals generated from the weakly electric fish S. macrurus. Variation in frequency and amplitude of the EOD signals are… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/1749-4877.12532

Abstract: Members of the Torpedinidae (torpedoes) and Hypnidae (coffin ray) use electric organ discharges (EOD) to stun or kill their prey before consumption. We investigated whether EOD could also negatively affect the helminth larvae infecting these… read more here.
