Norepinephrine acts through radial astrocytes in the developing optic tectum to enhance threat detection and escape behavior

This study shows norepinephrine activates radial astrocytes in the optic tectum, altering visual processing to enhance threat detection and escape behavior in developing Xenopus laevis.

Parallel morphological and functional development in the Xenopus retinotectal system

The paper examines parallel morphological and functional development in the Xenopus retinotectal system by combining calcium imaging with structural imaging.

BDNF signaling in correlation-dependent structural plasticity in the developing visual system

This study investigates BDNF signaling's role in structural plasticity during visual system development by manipulating neural activity correlation and observing axonal branch dynamics in Xenopus laevis tadpoles.

Activity-dependent alteration of early myelin ensheathment in a developing sensory circuit

This study investigates how patterned visual experience affects early myelin ensheathment in Xenopus tadpoles by manipulating neuronal activity with strobe light and measuring calcium responses.

Sodium-Calcium Exchanger Mediates Sensory-Evoked Glial Calcium Transients in the Developing Retinotectal System

The paper shows that sodium-calcium exchangers (NCX) are critical for visually-evoked calcium transients in radial astrocytes during Xenopus laevis retinotectal development.

The effects of the NMDAR co-agonist D-serine on the structure and function of the optic tectum

This study examines how chronic D-serine administration affects the structure and function of the developing optic tectum in Xenopus, showing changes in dendritic morphology and retinotopic map organization.

Improved genetically encoded near-infrared fluorescent calcium ion indicators for in vivo imaging

The paper introduces two improved near-infrared calcium indicators for better neuronal activity imaging in vivo.
