The paper describes behavioral protocols to assess developmental abnormalities in Xenopus laevis tadpoles efficiently and effectively.

The paper shows that neurons in Xenopus tadpoles adjust their temporal spiking responses to different synaptic input speeds based on sensory experience.

The paper investigates looming detection mechanisms in the tectum using graph analysis and a computational model, finding that synfire chains and structured inputs contribute to looming selectivity.
