Goldfish with implanted intracranial electroencephalographic (EEG) electrodes showed high-voltage slow activity of 6-9 Hz and a low-voltage fast activity of 16-24 Hz when resting in the dark. The former frequency was prevalent in the telencephalon, diencephalon, and midbrain but remained only in pa..

Slow potential shifts in brain structures have been recorded and correlated with motivational state in several species. Previous studies have also found that application of an electrical current to the surface of brain tissue generates such slow potential shifts. The present study was conducted to e...

The feeding motivation of the common European common toad (Bufo bufo) can be quantified by the feeding sequence of arousal-orientation-approach-fixate-snap. Previous work has found that the optic tectum is an important structure responsible for the mediation of feeding behaviors, and combined electr...
