Expression of transposable elements in neural tissues during Xenopus development. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2011 Transposable elements comprise a large proportion of animal genomes. Transposons can have detrimental effects on genome stability but also offer positive roles for genome evolution and gene expression regulation.

Evolutionary Divergence in Developmental Strategies and Neuromodulatory Control Systems of Two Amphibian Locomotor Networks [PDF]
, 2004 Attempts to understand the neural mechanisms which produce behaviour must consider both prevailing sensory cues and the central cellular and synaptic changes they direct. At each level, neuromodulation can additionally shape the final output.

An Algorithm Based on a Cable-Nernst Planck Model Predicting Synaptic Activity throughout the Dendritic Arbor with Micron Specificity [PDF]
Neuroinformatics, 2023, 21 (1), pp.207-220, 2023 Recent technological advances have enabled the recording of neurons in intact circuits with a high spatial and temporal resolution, creating the need for modeling with the same precision. In particular, the development of ultra-fast two-photon microscopy combined with fluorescence-based genetically-encoded Ca2+-indicators allows capture of full ...

Patterns of tubb2b Promoter-Driven Fluorescence in the Forebrain of Larval Xenopus laevis
Frontiers in Neuroanatomy, 2022 Microtubules are essential components of the cytoskeleton of all eukaryotic cells and consist of α- and β-tubulin heterodimers. Several tissue-specific isotypes of α- and β-tubulins, encoded by distinct genes, have been described in vertebrates.
