Sensory activity in the telencephalon of the clawed toad, Xenopus laevis.

Birkhofer M , Bleckmann H , Görner P .


???displayArticle.abstract???
In this study data are presented providing evidence that the striatum of the clawed toad, Xenopus laevis, processes mechanosensory, acoustic, and visual information and that multisensory interaction takes place in this telencephalic structure. Multimodal processing as well as the considerable effects of stimulus repetition rate on response amplitudes are in line with the finding that the striatum of Xenopus mediates attentional processes (Traub & Elepfandt, 1990). Further physiological studies are needed to delineate the functional organization of the striatum in amphibians.
