When one individual fish with an electric discharge of 400 Hz encounters a second individual with the same frequency, one fish shifts its frequency upward while the other shifts its frequency downward. This behavior prevents jamming of the electrolocation abilities of both fish which are compromised when an external electrical signal with within plus or minus four Hertz of a fish's own discharge frequency. The study of the Jamming Avoidance and its neural basis is a successful example of tracing the neural circuits of a complex behavior from its sensory inputs to the motor output.
