Topic: weakly electric fishes

This study investigates multisensory integration in weakly electric fishes, Apteronotus albifrons and Eigenmannia virescens, during their natural refuge tracking behavior. Our goal is to examine and model the sensory reweighting that occurs in the midbrain in relation to changes in the sensory salience. Specifically, we manipulate illumination (light, dim light, dark), conductivity (low, medium, high), refuge structure (with/out windows), and refuge length (short, medium, high) and observe how the weights of visual and electrosensory systems are dynamically adjusted. We conducted a total of 27
