- Tadpoles bearing eyes placed on tails can see and learn effectively despite novel neural connections (to spinal cord or gut), demonstrating plastic sensorimotor reinterpretation.
- Empirical evidence of functional plasticity and radical phenotypic change at individual level; demonstrates cellular hardware adaptation to novel configurations.
- Example of innate problem-solving capacity.
- Blackiston & Levin 2013 finding showing plasticity of sensorimotor integration.
- Tadpoles with ectopic eyes on tail can see and integrate sensory input from aberrant locationfinding0.843Demonstrates neural plasticity: brain adapts behavioral programs to sensory input from abnormal anatomical locations within single organism lifetime.
- Demonstrates competence of eye primordia to achieve function in novel locations.
