Scientific ReportsHow afferent input shapes synaptic connections is fundamental to our understanding of cues that govern assembly of sensory circuits. In the retina, photoreceptors provide afferent visual information to second-order bipolar cells (BCs) that in turn ...

Hungry for Knowledge: Octopamine Signaling Regulates Hunger‐Enhanced Olfactory Learning
Advanced Science, EarlyView.Researchers demonstrate that hunger state facilitates both aversive and appetitive olfactory learning. Two distinct octopamine signaling pathways are involved in aversive or appetitive memory formation in the hunger state. And, hunger state also facilitates the formation of both types of memories via an evolutionarily conserved norepinephrine (the ...

Temporal profile and mechanisms of the prompt sympathoexcitation following coronary ligation in Wistar rats [PDF]
, 2014 Our aim was to assess the timing and mechanisms of the sympathoexcitation that occurs immediately after coronary ligation. We recorded thoracic sympathetic (tSNA) and phrenic activities, heart rate (HR) and perfusion pressure in Wistar rats subjected to ...

Subjective visual vertical test: Normative values in healthy population [PDF]
Srpski Arhiv za Celokupno Lekarstvo, 2008 INTRODUCTION Subjective Visual Vertical test (SVV test) can be applied to measure one of the functions of the vestibular apparatus, its afferent pathways and nuclei within the brain stem. The test is based on the subjective assessment of verticality. The

Strategies to augment volitional and reflex function may improve locomotor capacity following incomplete spinal cord injury [PDF]
, 2018 Many studies highlight the remarkable plasticity demonstrated by spinal circuits following an incomplete spinal cord injury (SCI). Such plasticity can contribute to improvements in volitional motor recovery, such as walking function, although similar ...

Advanced Science, EarlyView.An ultralight, multilayer anisotropic tactile sensor—an artificial Pacinian corpuscle—exhibits ultrahigh tangential sensitivity (1022 kPa−1) and spatiotemporal sensing. It discriminates static, sliding, and rolling contacts, detects incipient stick–slip via high‑frequency signatures, and enhances robotic touch (100%/98.18% accuracy for active/passive ...
