  • Title: Comparative studies on the Mauthner cell of teleost fish in relation to sensory input.
    Author: Zottoli SJ, Bentley AP, Prendergast BJ, Rieff HI.
    Journal: Brain Behav Evol; 1995; 46(3):151-64. PubMed ID: 8520934.
    Abstract:
    Most physiological and behavioral studies of the Mauthner cells have used the goldfish and a few other fish from the superorder Ostariophysi, series Otophysi (= otophysans). We first provide some background and recent findings on the Mauthner cells of otophysan fish and then compare this information to that known about the Mauthner cells in certain non-otophysan fish. These comparisons are meant to provide the impetus for a comparative approach to understanding the role of the Mauthner cells in behavior.
