...Kenneth C. Catania Despite centuries of interest in electric eels, few studies have investigated the mechanism of the eel's attack. Here, I review and extend recent findings that show eel electric high-voltage discharges activate prey motor neuron efferents. This mechanism allows electric eels...

... the projection to the medial nucleus, as shown by image processing of the HRP labeling. The efferent fibers originate from a bilateral pair of large octavolateral nuclei in the hindbrain. Characteristic for these nuclei are their large, fusiform and bipolar neurons. Another specific feature is the oblique...
