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.
本研究旨在描述美洲鱚 Micropogonias undulatus、眼斑拟石首鱼 Sciaenops ocellatus 和黄颡鱼 Leiostomus xanthurus 球囊传入神经树突的分支模式。结果显示，黄颡鱼具有最简单的分支模式，而美洲鱚的分支模式最为复杂。此外，球囊上皮沿前后轴取样部位的毛细胞密度与观察到的树突分支模式相关。
