.
Which of the following statements are correct? Please select all that apply.
Corollary discharges enable organisms to distinguish sensory input arising from the outside world from sensory input generated by the animal's own action.
correct
incorrect
Corollary discharges are copies of motor commands used to produce two motor actions simultaneously.
correct
incorrect
Corollary discharges are copies of motor commands that do not produce any motor action but influence sensory processing.
correct
incorrect
Corollary discharges are a neural mechanism to modulate sensorimotor integration.

Which of the following statements about the jamming avoidance response of the weakly electric fish
Eigenmannia
is
not
correct?
The jamming avoidance response involves a shifting of the fish's own frequency away from the frequency of the interfering signal.
correct
incorrect
To execute a correct jamming avoidance response,
Eigenman
n
ia
uses the frequency of its own pacemaker nucleus as a reference.
correct
incorrect
The decision to shift the frequency of its own electric organ discharge either up or down is based on the evaluation of afferent information contained in the interference pattern resulting from the mixing of its own discharge and that of the neighbor.
correct
incorrect
The jamming avoidance response is a behavioral strategy to avoid detrimental effects on the electrolocation ability caused by signal interference of its own electric discharge with that of a neighbor fish discharging at similar frequency.
