Combes D, Merrywest S, Simmers J, Sillar K
J Physiol
. 2004 Jul;
559(Pt 1):17-24.
PMID: 15235079
Amphibian metamorphosis includes a complete reorganization of an organism's locomotory system from axial-based swimming in larvae to limbed propulsion in the young adult. At critical stages during this behavioural switch,...

J Comp Physiol A Neuroethol Sens Neural Behav Physiol
. 2004 Mar;
190(5):391-402.
PMID: 14991304
We have investigated the pharmacology underlying locomotor system responses to serotonin (5-HT) in embryos of the frog, Rana temporaria, to provide a comparison to studies in embryos of its close...

McLean D, Sillar K
J Comp Neurol
. 2001 Aug;
437(3):350-62.
PMID: 11494261
We have catalogued the progressive appearance of putative nitric oxide synthase (NOS)-containing neurons in the developing central nervous system (CNS) of Xenopus laevis. Xenopus embryos and larvae were processed in...

Fischer H, Merrywest S, Sillar K
Eur J Neurosci
. 2001 Mar;
13(5):977-86.
PMID: 11264670
This study focused on the contribution of different adrenoreceptor subtypes to the modulation of fictive swimming activity in a relatively simple, yet intact, lower vertebrate system, the immobilized Xenopus laevis...

J Exp Biol
. 2001 Mar;
204(Pt 7):1307-17.
PMID: 11249840
Nitric oxide (NO) is a ubiquitous neuromodulator with a diverse array of functions in a variety of brain regions, but a role for NO in the generation of locomotor activity...

McLean D, Merrywest S, Sillar K
Brain Res Bull
. 2001 Feb;
53(5):595-603.
PMID: 11165795
The relative simplicity of the amphibian tadpole nervous system has been utilised as a model for the mechanisms underlying the generation and development of vertebrate locomotion. In this paper, we...

J Exp Biol
. 2000 Jan;
203(Pt 4):705-13.
PMID: 10648212
The possible involvement of the free radical gas nitric oxide (NO) in the modulation of spinal rhythm-generating networks has been studied using Xenopus laevis larvae. Using NADPH-diaphorase histochemistry, three putative...

J Neurophysiol
. 1999 Dec;
82(6):3175-87.
PMID: 10601451
We have investigated the contribution of GABA(A) receptor activation to swimming in Xenopus tadpoles during the first day of postembryonic development. Around the time of hatching stage (37/8), bicuculline (10-50...

J Neurophysiol
. 1999 Aug;
82(2):741-6.
PMID: 10444672
We have studied the effects of the biogenic amine noradrenaline (NA) on motor activity in the isolated neonatal rat spinal cord. The motor output was recorded with suction electrodes from...

. 1999 Feb;
860:318-32.
PMID: 9928322
In this article we review our research on the development and intrinsic neuromodulation of a spinal network controlling locomotion in a simple vertebrate. Swimming in hatchling Xenopus embryos is generated...
