Avoidance response
Closed loop stabilization of the Jamming Avoidance Response reveals its locally unstable and globally nonlinear dynamics
... Weakly electric fish emit an electric organ discharge (EOD) that is used for electrolocation (Caputi and Budelli, 2006; von der Emde, 2006) and communication (Hopkins, 1974; Fortune, 2006; Hupé and Lewis, 2008; ...

Repeated elicitation of the acoustic startle reflex leads to sensitisation in subsequent avoidance behaviour and induces fear conditioning
... In contrast to most neuro-physiological studies, the animals we tested here were captured from a wild popu- lation, where they had spent time in their natural habi- tat prior to the experiments. They also belonged to a ...
