Chemosensory-induced motor behaviors in fish

Highlights ► We review the neuroethology of chemosensory-induced motor behaviors in fish. ► Migratory, reproductive, foraging, and escape behaviors can be elicited by chemical cues. ► Olfactory, gustatory, and diffuse chemosensory systems mediate these chemotactic responses. ► A specific pathway in...

Description
Summary:Highlights ► We review the neuroethology of chemosensory-induced motor behaviors in fish. ► Migratory, reproductive, foraging, and escape behaviors can be elicited by chemical cues. ► Olfactory, gustatory, and diffuse chemosensory systems mediate these chemotactic responses. ► A specific pathway in the central nervous system generates locomotion in response to olfactory inputs.
