Patterns of saccular afferent innervation in sciaenids

In this study, saccular afferent arborization patterns in Atlantic croaker Micropogonias undulatus , red drum Sciaenops ocellatus and spot Leiostomus xanthurus were characterized. Leiostomus xanthurus showed the simplest configuration while M. undulatus displayed the most complex. In addition, hair‐...

Description
Summary:In this study, saccular afferent arborization patterns in Atlantic croaker Micropogonias undulatus , red drum Sciaenops ocellatus and spot Leiostomus xanthurus were characterized. Leiostomus xanthurus showed the simplest configuration while M. undulatus displayed the most complex. In addition, hair‐cell densities at sites sampled along the rostro‐caudal axis of the saccular epithelia correlated with the observed patterns of arborization.
