Burst firing in the electrosensory system of gymnotiform weakly electric fish: mechanisms and functional roles

Neurons across sensory systems and organisms often display complex patterns of action potentials in response to sensory input. One example of such a pattern is the tendency of neurons to fire packets of action potentials (i.e. a burst) followed by quiescence. While it is well known that multiple mec...
