sensory receptors to the skin surface. In active electrolocation, the animal senses its surrounding environment by generating weak electric fields (electrogenesis)...

that convert a specific type of stimulus, via their receptors, into action potentials or graded receptor potentials. This process is called sensory transduction...

Cell surface receptors (membrane receptors, transmembrane receptors) are receptors that are embedded in the plasma membrane of cells. They act in cell...

Ligand-gated ion channels (LICs, LGIC), also commonly referred to as ionotropic receptors, are a group of transmembrane ion-channel proteins which open to allow...

information to and from the brain and body), the different types of sensory receptor cells (such as mechanoreceptors, photoreceptors, chemoreceptors, thermoreceptors)...

In biology, the electric organ is an organ that an electric fish uses to create an electric field. Electric organs are derived from modified muscle or...

An electric fish is any fish that can generate electric fields, whether to sense things around them, for defence, or to stun prey. Most fish able to produce...

salinity. In 1960 the ampullae were identified as specialized receptor organs for sensing electric fields. One of the first descriptions of calcium-activated...

head. Electric eels use their high frequency-sensitive tuberous receptors, distributed in patches over the body, for hunting other knifefish. Electric eels...

plug over the sensory receptors, allowing capacity-coupled current to pass from the external environment to the sensory receptor. Knollenorgans lack the...

ghost knifefish are nocturnal. They are a weakly electric fish which use an electric organ and receptors distributed over the length of their body in order...

octopamine receptor β, high for Drosophila tyramine receptor 1, intermediate for migratory locust (Locusta migratoria) tyramine receptor 1, and high...

A neuron, neurone, or nerve cell is an excitable cell that fires electric signals called action potentials across a neural network in the nervous system...

of electric organs (analog to striated muscle). His team demonstrated the existence of several interconvertible states for the nicotinic receptor, resting...

of a generator by switching from a supply circuit to a receptor circuit while applying electric current to the field coils that generate the magnetic field...

and adrenergic (releasing norepinephrine). Because of the complexity of receptor signal transduction, chemical synapses can have complex effects on the...

(also transmembrane potential or membrane voltage) is the difference in electric potential between the interior and the exterior of a biological cell. It...
