About this Research Topic
In this Research Topic, we welcome articles focused on describing recent advances made on the topics of electroreception and electrogeneration. These can be reviews and original research based around sensory processing leading to behavior, electrogeneration, evolution of electroreception, as well as behavioral adaptations in which changes in ion channel properties are linked to electrogenerative properties. We also welcome articles focusing on passive electroreception in both fish and mammals.
We aim to provide a synthesis of current research on all aspects of electroreception and electrogeneration that will help focus future research endeavors. It is also expected that, because of the many similarities between electrosensory systems and others, interest in this Research Topic will not be limited to researchers working on electroreception and electrogeneration, but also to researchers working in other fields.
Keywords: electroreception, electrogeneration, weakly electric fish, comparative studies, sensory processing, neuroethology
