Lateral line - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

In aquatic organisms (chiefly fish), the lateral line is a sense organ used to detect movement and vibration in the surrounding water. Lateral lines are usually visible as faint lines running length...

Lateral line physiological experiments are designed to investigate the ways in which sources of water disturbance are detected by the lateral line system of fish and how flow patterns arising from these sources are represented in the peripheral and central nervous system.

Lateral line system of the Lake Michigan mottled sculpin. Patches of hair cells called neuromasts (black dots) are distributed all over the body surface of the fish, either directly on the skin surface or just under the skin surface in fluid filled canals (shaded areas).

The lateral line consists of individual receptor organs, the neuromasts, that are distributed across the body of the fish. ... In addition, we want to use the biological principles of signal reception, filtering and processing implemented in the the lateral line system for the construction of artificial hydrodynamic sensors.

Fish and some amphibians possess a unique sensory capability that allows them to 'feel' objects around them without physical contact and see in the dark. Colloquially this is called a 'sixth sense' but scientifically it is called a lateral-line system. ... The organ that makes this possible is the lateral-line system,

Fish acquire information about their aquatic environment by means of their mechanosensory lateral-line system.

Fish use their lateral-line mechanoreceptive system to analyze water motion around their body. The functional unit of the fish lateral-line system is a neuromast. This is in essence a cupula, a gelatinous protuberance sticking into the water and deflected by local water flow.

Here we discuss how viscosity influences the stimulus to the fish lateral-line system. The movement of a fish's body creates flows that can interfere with the detection of external signals, but these flows can also serve as a source of information about nearby obstacles and the fish's own hydrodynamic performance.

Robotic Applications Eyed As Scientists Decode Mathematics Behind Fish's Lateral-line System. (UnderwaterTimes.com News Service - 2009-08-28 18:29:31) ... Which stimuli does the lateral-line system receive from the eddy trail of another fish, and how are these stimuli processed? To get to the bottom of these questions,
