Neural heterogeneities influence envelope and temporal coding at the sensory periphery

Abstract Peripheral sensory neurons respond to stimuli containing a wide range of spatio-temporal frequencies. We investigated electroreceptor neuron coding in the gymnotiform wave-type weakly electric fish Apteronotus leptorhynchus . Previous studies used low to mid temporal frequencies (
