2019, NeuroscienceCitation Excerpt :How the pacemaker maintains a balance between stability and flexibility is unclear. In A. leptorhynchus, the pacemaker nucleus (Pn) is made up of approximately 150 neurons of two main types: the pacemaker (P) cells, which are intrinsic to the Pn; and the relay (R) cells, whose axons project down the spinal cord to innervate electromotor neurons of the electric organ (Fig. 1A) (Ellis and Szabo, 1980; Elekes and Szabo, 1985; Moortgat et al., 2000a; Smith and Zakon, 2000; Zupanc, 2017). A third class of small interneurons, the parvo cells, has also been identified, but their function is not known (Smith et al., 2000).

2014, Journal of Physiology ParisCitation Excerpt :Gymnotiformes have well characterized electric behavioral displays that play a fundamental role in, among others, reproductive and aggressive interactions (Batista et al., 2012; Hagedorn, 1988; Hagedorn and Heiligenberg, 1985; Hopkins, 1972, 1974b, 1988; Hupe and Lewis, 2008; Kawasaki and Heiligenberg, 1989; Perrone et al., 2009; Zubizarreta et al., 2012). It is one of the few vertebrate groups in which the control of specific behavioral displays can be reliably traced to a single conspicuous hindbrain nucleus (Bennett et al., 1967a; Bennett, 1971; Ellis and Szabo, 1980; Szabo and Enger, 1964). This pacemaker nucleus (PN) fires spontaneously and controls, in a one to one fashion, the timing of each EOD in all weakly electric fish.
