Examining the Validity and Reliability of Evaluation in Ayres Sensory Integration Data Collected With Autistic Children: A Rasch Analysis

Autism Research, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Performance‐based assessments of sensory function provide essential insights into sensory integration challenges in autistic children and provide objective, standardized measurement data that can be used to tailor targeted interventions. We sought to evaluate the validity and reliability of data collected using the Evaluation in Ayres Sensory ...

The β integrin modulates serotonin sensitivity via NPxY motifs to regulate egg laying and mechanosensation behaviors in Caenorhabditis elegans

Developmental Dynamics, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Integrin is an αβ heterodimeric receptor to the extracellular matrix; its binding to the matrix recruits focal adhesions to two NPxY motifs, the tyrosine phosphorylation sites in the cytoplasmic domain. Studies found that replacing tyrosines (Y) with phenylalanines (F) in the motif of β1 integrin displayed little developmental or ...

Mechanoreceptors in the nose

Egyptian Journal of Ear, Nose, Throat and Allied Sciences, 2015
AbstractNasal obstruction is a common symptom. Usually it is due to the presence of enlarged inferior turbinates, adenoid hypertrophy or pathological nasal mass. The most commonly encountered is nasal polyp. The presence of a physically obstructing mass causing the symptom can be easily explained.

Proteomic profiling of Elp1‐deficient trigeminal ganglia reveals disruption of neurotrophic and metabolic pathways in a familial dysautonomia mouse model

Developmental Dynamics, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Elp1, a subunit of the Elongator complex, is essential for tRNA modification and neuronal development. Mutations in ELP1 underlie familial dysautonomia (FD), a disorder marked by sensory and autonomic neuropathy. While loss of Elp1 disrupts trigeminal ganglion formation and survival, the downstream molecular consequences remain ...

Bioinspired Crossmodal Tactile Sensory Nerve for High‐Accurate Object Recognition

ENERGY &ENVIRONMENTAL MATERIALS, EarlyView.
An artificial crossmodal sensory neuron system (ACSNS) that combines a complementary memristor with high‐sensitivity pressure–temperature bimodal sensors, which integrate tactile perception, information storage, and neuromorphic computing. With the aid of machine learning, this ACSNS presents an improved accuracy of 96.67% in recognizing temperatures ...

Integration of vibrotactile frequency information beyond the mechanoreceptor channel and somatotopy

Scientific Reports, 2017
A wide variety of tactile sensations arise from the activation of several types of mechanoreceptor-afferent channels scattered all over the body, and their projections create a somatotopic map in the somatosensory cortex.

Can trigeminal sensations impact saltiness perception? A mini‐review

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, EarlyView.
Abstract Many food companies have begun to reduce the salt content in their products due to health concerns; however, this reduction in salt content can affect the food's sensory appeal and flavour complexity. Flavour is defined as a combination of odour (i.e., smell), taste (i.e., gustation) and trigeminal sensations (i.e., chemesthesis).

Characteristics of Sensitive Scalp in French Women and Comparison With Scalp Dermatoses

JEADV Clinical Practice, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background A sensitive scalp is a particular location of sensitive skin, characterised by the occurrence of unpleasant sensations which cannot be explained by a skin disease. It is a common syndrome that could affect 30%–50% of women. Clinical data are scarce, and the impact on the quality of life poorly described.

Sensory cells in tunicates: insights into mechanoreceptor evolution

Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology
Tunicates, the sister group of vertebrates, offer a unique perspective for evolutionary developmental studies (Evo-Devo) due to their simple anatomical organization.

Computational analysis of the relationship between mechanical state and mechanoreceptor responses during scanning of a textured surface

Advances in Mechanical Engineering, 2019
Skin deformation caused by contact with an object is transduced into nerve signals by tactile mechanoreceptors, allowing humans to perceive tactile information.
