Presents recent findings in the research on modality of animal perception, particularly the ability to sense feeble electrical fields. Includes a new treatment of electric organs and their control, an examination of receptors and their ionic mechanisms, and discussion of regeneration of the spinal cord. Uses electric fish as models. Systematically treats the principal taxa of animals exhibiting electroreception, particularly in respect to central anatomy and physiology. The subject of evolution is covered thoroughly throughout the book.
