Abstract
The Jamming Avoidance Response (JAR), during which weakly electric fish modulate their electric organ discharge rate in response to a foreign electric signal of nearly the same frequency is strongest for frequency differences (Δfs) between 3–8 Hz. We have searched for neural correlates of this behavioral specificity. Single unit recordings in the anterior lateral line ganglion (ALLG), the posterior lateral line lobe (PLLL) and the torus semicircularis (TS) ofEigenmannia virescens were made during electrical stimulation simulating jamming by a nearby conspecific.
