Description
Summary:Experiments with a vibrating wire in an aquarium on normal and neurotomized mudpuppies reveal the fact that in the normal mudpuppy reactions of the gills give evidence of a functioning of the lateral line organs similar to that of hearing and that in the mudpuppy whose lateral line organs have been severed these gill reactions are lacking. Twenty-one days after the dissection the animal has regained its lost gill functions by reason of the nerve regeneration. Six references to the literature are given. From Psych Bulletin 20:03:00314.
