图1,左)在捕食者的万神殿中占有特殊的地位。它们是完全水生的,在泰国、柬埔寨和南越的淡水中生活和繁殖,它们专门以鱼为食,因此它们的绰号是“钓鱼蛇”。但鱼是逃脱艺术家,有一个独特的神经回路和专门的命令神经元,触发快速逃避演习,使他们具有挑战性和难以捉摸的猎物。事实上,鱼的逃逸回路的复杂性使它们成为神经科学中的重要模型系统(见“Mauthner细胞”快速指南)。令人难以置信的是,触手蛇以两种不同的方式利用鱼的逃避反应。
Figure 1, left) hold a special place in the pantheon of predators. They are fully aquatic, living and breeding in freshwater in Thailand, Cambodia, and South Vietnam and they feed exclusively on fish—hence their nickname—‘The Fishing Snake’. But fish are escape artists, with a unique neural circuit and dedicated command neurons that trigger rapid evasive maneuvers, making them challenging and elusive prey. In fact the sophistication of the fish escape circuit has made them an important model system in the neurosciences (see ‘Mauthner cells’ Quick Guide). Incredibly, tentacled snakes use the fish escape response to their advantage in two different ways.
