Topic: Xenopus tropicalis

In the olfactory system, the glomeruli of the olfactory bulb define the first synapse processing odour information in the brain. Here, many synapses are established between olfactory sensory neurons (OSNs) and olfactory bulb neurons. Xenopus tropicalis tadpoles provide an excellent experimental platform to investigate the molecular mechanisms of synaptic transmission in vivo due to its experimental accessibility and transparency. We investigated long-lasting depolarizations (LLDs) occurring in the glomerular layer of the olfactory bulb by measuring changes in the local field potential. We reco
