- Tadpoles with ectopic eyes on tail can see and integrate sensory input from aberrant locationfinding0.916Demonstrates neural plasticity: brain adapts behavioral programs to sensory input from abnormal anatomical locations within single organism lifetime.
- Empirical evidence of functional plasticity and radical phenotypic change at individual level; demonstrates cellular hardware adaptation to novel configurations.
- Blackiston & Levin 2013 finding showing plasticity of sensorimotor integration.
- Result from Blackiston & Levin 2013: sensory data from displaced eyes can be used for learned behavior without evolutionary adaptation.
- Ectopic eyes on tadpole tails support visual learning despite connecting to the spinal cord.finding0.887From Blackiston & Levin (2013), shows plasticity of brain and body.
- Demonstrates competence of eye primordia to achieve function in novel locations.
- Tadpoles bearing eyes placed on tails can see and learn effectively despite novel neural connections (to spinal cord or gut), demonstrating plastic sensorimotor reinterpretation.
- Ectopic eyes in Xenopus tadpoles connect to the spinal cord and enable visual learning despite incorrect anatomical location.
