Responses of Medullary Lateral Line Units of the Goldfish, Carassius auratus, to Amplitude-Modulated Sinusoidal Wave Stimuli
Figure 1
Reconstruction of a recording site in the medulla. The figure shows a cresyl-violet stained section through the dorsal half of the right brainstem of a goldfish. The course of an electrode penetration can be tracked from the brain surface through the molecular layer into the crest cell layer. At the endpoint of the penetration a current was applied to lesion the tissue at a physiologically characterized recording site (arrowheads). Note that the electrode was angled by about for easier access to the brain surface, resulting in an angular orientation of the electrode track with respect to the dorsal surface of the brain. Abbreviations: ML molecular layer, CCL crest cell layer, DNp deep neuropil, PLLn posterior lateral line nerve.
