Electroreceptor Physiology

Electroreceptor Physiology is the branch of sensory receptor physiology that investigates the functional mechanisms and biophysical properties of electroreceptors, specialized sensory cells that transduce extracellular electric fields into neural signals, thereby enabling the perception of electrical stimuli in certain aquatic and amphibious species.
