The elephantnose fish explores objects in its surroundings by using its eyes or its electrical sense – sometimes both together. Zoologists at the University of Bonn and a colleague from Oxford have ...

The elephantnose fish explores objects in its surroundings by using its eyes or its electrical sense -- sometimes both together. Zoologists have now found out how complex the processing of these ...

The environment experienced by young zebrafish influences both the shape and electrical activity of the neurons in the eye, ...

Most fish rely primarily on their vision to find prey to feed upon, but a University of Rhode Island biologist and her colleagues have demonstrated that a group of African cichlids feeds by using its ...

Evolution has turned out bizarre and baffling creatures, such as walking fish. It only gets weirder from there. Some of these fish not only walk on the seafloor, but use their leg-like appendages to ...

Advanced calcium imaging of zebrafish brains is helping University of Queensland researchers discover how sensory stimuli such as sights and sounds are integrated in the human brain. The research into ...

Sensory information is fundamental for navigation. Visual motion is used by animals to estimate their traveling distance and direction, and landmarks allow animals to tether their location and ...

The weakly electric fish, so named because it generates a weak electric field, can do some very cool things. Using sensors located all over its body, for example, it can detect prey or predators that ...
