TL;DR: Behavioral experiments clearly demonstrated that weak EOs function in electrosensory imaging of the environment (active electrolocation) and communication (Lissman 1958; Lissman and Machin 1958), and there has been a wealth of research into the biology of active electrosensing and electromotor systems.

TL;DR: Beyond the classical eye-color phenotype, mutations in Drosophila white gene could impair several biological functions affecting parameters like mobility, life span and stress tolerance, so caution and attentiveness is suggested during the interpretation of old experiments employing white mutant flies and when planning new ones.

TL;DR: Responses to the EOD corollary discharge were different in the three cell types, and these responses underwent plastic changes after a few minutes of pairing with an electrosensory stimulus.

TL;DR: An understanding of how the nervous system processes an impulse-like input to yield a stereotyped, species-specific electromotor output is relevant for electric fish physiology, but also for understanding the general mechanisms of coordination of effector patterns.
