... for intraspecific communication. Previous work showed that hair cell (HC) density in the midshipman saccule increased seasonally with reproductive state and was concurrent with enhanced auditory saccular sensitivity in both females and type I males. Although reproductive state-dependent changes in HC density have...

... to the pouch. Structural development was studied with the aid of hematoxylin and eosin stained sections and immunoreactivity for GAP-43, whereas the development of vestibular system connections was examined by carbocyanine dye tracing. At the time of birth, the otocyst has distinct utricle, saccule...

...Golda Anne Kevetter; Adrian A. Perachio The projections of the saccule, an otolith end organ, to the cochlear nuclei were studied using both transganglionic transport and intracellular injection techniques. Labeled fibers and terminals were observed in the anterior and posterior portions...

..., and the bulk of the rostral anterior nucleus. The macula neglecta projects to the intermediate zone of the descending nucleus and to ventral locations within the dorsal half of the caudal anterior nucleus. The otolithic endorgans - the saccule, lagena, and utricle - project, in an overlapping manner...

...: 1 dyne cm -2 ) in the most sensitive frequency range (200 to 800 Hz). This input arises from volume fluctuations of the swimbladder in response to the sound pressure waveform and is thus nondirectional. Primary afferents of the saccule, lagena, and utricle of the goldfish also respond with great...

... Oclavolateralis system Startle response VIIIili nerve Saccule Ear 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...
