Abstract

We review the lateral line and electroreceptor systems among craniates and highlight unique gains and losses. Distinctive features permit grouping of derived animals with respect to similarities (stereocilia and kinocilia length) and share with a single afferent versus two afferents among electroreceptors and lateral line, respectively. Transformations of the dorsal and intermediate nuclei exceeds both in loss and gain among vertebrates, in particular derived bony fishes. We are providing an integrated perspective of various craniates, taking both evolution and development into a unique perspective of neurons, hair cells, as well as dorsal and intermediate nuclei into consideration.
