Figure 1. Response times to the first flexion and ventral root burst of swimming to current pulse trunk skin stimulation. A, Xenopus tadpole with stimulus site marked (*) and frames from a video (stimulus at t = 0 ms). The tadpole (supported by pins in neck region) flexes to unstimulated left side starting at 76 ms (arrowhead) and swims off. B, Distribution of delays to the start of the 1st flexion of swimming. C, Diagram of immobilised tadpole with stimulating and ventral root (vr) recording electrodes. D, E, Motor nerve responses to 0.1 ms pulse to trunk skin (↓) to show when swimming started on the right, unstimulated side (red arrowheads). F, Distribution of delays to the first ventral root spikes when swimming started on the unstimulated side. Figures on graphs are median and IQR. Image published in: Koutsikou S et al.
