Sensory Systems Neuroscience

Klappentext Fish sensory systems have been extensively studied not only because of a wide general interest in the behavioral and sensory physiology of this group, but also because fishes are well suited as biological models for studies of sensory systems. Fish Physiology: Sensory Systems Neuroscience describes how fish are able to perceive their physical and biological surroundings, and highlights some of the exciting developments in molecular biology of fish sensory systems. Volume 25 in the Fish Physiology series offers the only updated thorough examination of fish sensory systems at the molecular, cellular and systems levels. Zusammenfassung Describes how fish are able to perceive their physical and biological surroundings! and presents some of the developments in molecular biology of fish sensory systems. This book offers an examination of fish sensory systems at the molecular! cellular and systems levels and discusses their adaptations to the physiological challenges. Inhaltsverzeichnis Chapter 1.
