 Lateral Line Physiology and Anatomy
Although auditory and lateral line pathways in the central nervous system are separate, they are largely parallel and share many of the same organizational features, suggesting that the two systems have developed and evolved in close association with each other and may share common principles of operation.
Anatomical studies have involved three separate approaches and goals, one of which has been to use histological staining and cross-sectioning techniques to identify the location of electrodes used in neurophysiological experiments on brain cells.
A third approach involves histological staining and tract-tracing techniques to describe the cytoarchitecture and interconnections of processing centers (nuclei) in the brain.

 Lateral Line Behavior
Thus, it is possible to drive the behavior with mechanosensory cues alone, to use the same controllable stimulus source in both physiological and behavioral experiments, and to use a set of dipole field equations for characterizing the stimulus field and for modeling stimulation patterns along lateral line canal neuromasts (see the computational modeling demo).
In this demo, you will see a short video clip of a single prey capture sequence and the corresponding changes in modeled stimulation patterns to different lateral line canals on the head and body of the sculpin as it approaches the artificial prey.

Experiments with pollack have shown that the lateral line is also an key enabler for schooling behavior.
Additional neuromasts may appear individually at various locations on the body surface.
The hair cells in the lateral line are similar to the hair cells inside the vertebrate inner ear, indicating that the lateral line and the inner ear share a common origin.

 Lateral Line Behavior
Pharmacological or mechanical blocking of the lateral line system results in a complete disappearance of the orientation and subsequent approach and strike behavior, indicating that the lateral line system is extremely important in helping these fish locate nearby vibratory sources.
In addition to these experiments, graduate students in the Biology Department are conducting similar studies on the ability of muskie, a highly visual predator, to localize live minnow as its prey.
Studies on both sculpin and muskie involve selective elimination of the lateral line and visual systems to partition out the role of the lateral line system in feeding and prey localization.

 Predatory catfish use lateral line for wake-tracking Practical Fishkeeping magazine
Predatory catfishes use their sensitive lateral line sensory system for tracking the wake caused by prey as they swim after dark, says a new study.
Pohlmann, Atema and Breithaupt have previously shown experimentally that noctural piscivorous cats can track the wake of prey fish and use past locations to detect the present position of their prey.
By deactivating either the lateral line system or the sense of taste on the barbels, the scientists should be able to work out which of the two senses were most important in prey tracking.

A shark senses prey in the distance by detecting water movement made by fish or other swimming prey.
Sharks use the lateral line to detect the erratic motions of sick or wounded prey (easy-to-catch meals) when they are about three to 10 feet away.
Sharks have a special system, called a lateral line, that picks up the vibrations in the water.

 lateral line system --  Encyclopædia Britannica
See how the brain and spinal cord use the peripheral nervous system to send messages throughout your body.
The individual receptor, called a lateral line organ, or neuromast, consists of a cluster of innervated hairs surrounded by a jellylike projection (cupula) that bends in response to water movements.
Perhaps the most interesting specialization of the lateralline system is the formation in several groups of fish of deeply buried, single electrically sensitive organs.

There are two sensory systems that enable a fish to be aware of its surroundings by sensing vibrational information, both make up what is called the acoustico-lateralis system.
The lateral line is a protective feature found in fish that is sensitive to differences in water pressure and water vibrations.
Water pressure changes as fish dive to different depths, approach on-coming objects, hunt down food or are hunted down by other predators.

 Information on Fish Lateral Line System
These differences may be due to changes in depth or to the currentlike waves caused by approaching objects.
The lateral line system, found in many fishes and in some aquatic amphibians, is sensitive to differences in water pressure.
As the fish approaches an object, such as a rock or the glass wall of an aquarium, the pressure waves around its body are distorted, and these changes are quickly detected by the lateral line system, enabling the fish to swerve or to take other suitable action.

 Retinoic acid repatterns axolotl lateral line receptors
ABSTRACT The effects of all-trans retinoic acid on the development of the lateral line placodes of axolotls was studied.
Although all lateral line placodes continued to generate fully formed receptors and cranial nerves, the production of neuromasts and the organization of these receptors into lines were markedly reduced.
Equally important, all of the placodes at the highest concentration of retinoic acid failed to generate ampullary organs, thereby indicating a strong posteriorizing effect of retinoic acid on these placodes.

 Lateral Line
The lateral line was originally conceived as a wearable used by someone with strong or paranoid interest in fields.
It might equally be something that someone could rent or be given the use of for a while, just to experience (like using crutches for a week or wearing a pregnancy suit).
Over time the combined data from those using this device would begin to assemble a detailed picture of the changing fields in the wider environment.
