Abstract
This paper provides an overview of my work on the central auditory system of fish. It focuses on my comparative analyses of a nucleus that receives input from the inner ear, the descending nucleus, and more specifically on that part of the descending nucleus supplied by the otolith end organs, the dorsal descending nucleus. I begin by summarizing my initial work on the bowfin, Amia calva, and go on to explain the importance of taking a comparative approach to understanding ancestral and specialized anatomical and putative functional characteristics of the dorsal descending nucleus in modern bony fishes, the teleosts.
