Abstract
To clarify the neuronal mechanism by which a certain amplitude modulation ( AM) frequency of electric organ discharge (EOD) is extracted from a single EOD stimulus whose amplitude is modulated simultaneously with various frequ ency components, we proposed a microscopic model of electrosensory lateral- line lobe (ELL). We showed that the selective extraction of AM frequency co mes from the tuning property of a single bp cell and the synchronization of activity among the cells connected mutually with the electric synapses in ELL.
