Dynamic Vision System: Modeling the Prey Recognition of Common Toads Bufo Bufo

The tectal structures underlying the prey-catching of toads are one of the best-known mechanisms in neurobiology. In our paper we present a simpliied model of the prey recognition of the common toad Bufo bufo.We show that the recognition performance can be explained by coupling two neuron layers that exhibit locally excitatory interaction while there is a topographic inhibition between the laye...

Phalangeal bone anomalies in the European common toad Bufo bufo from polluted environments

Every spring, many of amphibians are killed by motor vehicles on roads. These road-killed animals can be used as valuable material for non-invasive studies showing the effect of environmental pollution on amphibian populations. The aims of our research were to check whether the phalanges of road-killed toads may be useful as material for histological analysis, and whether various degrees of hum...
