Xenopus laevis

Injecting oxygen-generating algae into tadpoles allows brain activity to continue in the absence of oxygen, researchers find.

Researchers recently used CRISPR single-guide RNAs to alter genes involved in pigmentation in frog embryos.

Baby frogs don’t develop the neural circuitry responsible for feeding inhibition until they begin metamorphosing into adults. 

Scientists are making use of Xenopus tadpoles to study autism risk genes.
