Manzini Lab 🐸

Once again, an unexpected finding in the olfactory system of amphibians. 🐸👃🧠 New publication out in "Developmental Neurobiology"! Have a look at it:👇 doi.org/10.1002/dneu.22935

Take a look at our new publication in @ctr_springer! Calcium imaging of adult olfactory epithelium reveals amines as an important odor class in fish🐟 Once again, a great collaboration with Sigrun Korsching and her group. 👉doi.org/10.1007/s00441-024-0…

Take a look at our new publication in @iScience_CP! Not all olfactory bulbs are organized the same way! In larval Xenopus (🐸), the glomerular odor map to amino acid odorants is neither stereotypic between animals nor chemotopically organized. sciencedirect.com/science/ar…

⚠️Our review "Principles of odor coding in vertebrates and artificial chemosensory systems" has been reformatted and included in the January 2022 issue of "Physiological reviews". @physiolrev 👉doi.org/10.1152/physrev.0003… It is freely accessible. Have a look at it!

After a few months as a preprint on @biorxivpreprint, now published in @ctr_springer. 👉doi.org/10.1007/s00441-021-0… Interested in how the olfactory system of Xenopus 🐸changes during metamorphosis? Here are some answers. Have a look at it, it's open access. Great work @amphiLuk.👏

1/ Our new review is out in @physiolrev! We provide an up-to-date overview of the current knowledge of the fields of #biological and #artificial #olfaction and, for the first time, attempt to tie them together. We hope you enjoy reading it! 👇 journals.physiology.org/doi/…

The @ctr_springer special issue "Olfactory Coding and Circuitries" is now officially out. We hope it will be of inspiration to everybody interested in the beautiful sense of #smell. 👃 #olfaction #insects #vertebrates Please RT! Here the Editorial: 👇 link.springer.com/article/10…

Check out our review about the sense of smell in #frogs and #tadpoles. It focuses on how their #olfactory #system functions in #water and on #land. Great job, @amphiLuk, and @thkloever! It will be included in a special issue by @ctr_springer! Stay tuned! link.springer.com/article/10…

Our Editorial for the coming @ctr_springer special issue, "Olfactory Coding and Circuitries," is out! It introduces 39! reviews about invertebrate and vertebrate #olfaction. Some are already online; the others will follow soon. Have a look at it! link.springer.com/article/10…

Check out our protocol for recording neuronal network activities in Xenopus using genetically encoded or injected calcium indicators in combination with multiphoton calcium imaging (doi: 10.1101/pdb.prot106815). Great Job Thomas Offner, Daniela Daume, @amphiLuk, and @thkloever.
