A neuroeffector pathway for communication consists of at least two elements: a peripheral effector organ and a central motor nucleus. Two communication systems are discussed here: the sonic motor and electromotor systems of fish. The electromotor system is used to illustrate species diversity of a peripheral effector, the electric organ. The sonic motor system is discussed in the context of species differences in the organization of a central motor nucleus for communication. Both systems share several anatomical and physiological features related to the generation of a stereotyped communication signal. Moreover, both systems appear to be sensitive to the influences of gonadal steroid hormones in the development of sexually dimorphic communication signals.
外周效应器官和中枢运动核。这里讨论两种通讯系统：鱼类的发声运动系统和电运动系统。电运动系统用于说明外周效应器——电器官的物种多样性。发声运动系统是在用于通讯的中枢运动核组织的物种差异背景下进行讨论的。这两种系统都具有与产生定型通讯信号相关的若干解剖学和生理学特征。此外，在两性异形通讯信号的发育过程中，这两种系统似乎都对性腺类固醇激素的影响敏感。
