The electric organ discharge of Brachyhypopomus pinnicaudatus was studied by recording (1) the discharge field potentials in water at different conductivities and temperatures and (2) the spatiotemporal pattern of electromotive forces of the equivalent source. More

Brachyhypopomus pinnicaudatus is described for the first time. The male had a paired, lobular testis of the unrestricted spermatogonial type, and females a paired saccular cystovary. More

gymnotiform Brachyhypopomus pinnicaudatus over the course of 1 h. Applied to single electrocytes in vitro, ACTH increases μEOD amplitude and duration within minutes by differentially modulating the action potentials of the two excitable membranes of the electrocyte and changing the timing of these two spikes.
