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

open access: yesDevelopmental 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 ...

Glutamatergic transmission in the nucleus tractus solitarii: from server to peripherals in the cardiovascular information superhighway

open access: yesBrazilian Journal of Medical and Biological Research, 1997
Afferent nerves carrying signals from mechanoreceptors in the aortic arch and carotid sinus terminate predominantly in the nucleus tractus solitarii (NTS).

Role of cardiopulmonary mechanoreceptors in the postural regulation of renin

open access: yes, 1987
To change the stretch on cardiopulmonary mechanoreceptors, large shifts of blood in the capacity space were elicited by tilting and by exerting positive lower body pressure in the tilted position.

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

open access: yesDevelopmental 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 ...

The central projection of cephalic mechanosensory axons in the haematophagous bug Triatoma infestans

open access: yesMemorias do Instituto Oswaldo Cruz, 2000
The projections of mechanosensory hairs located on the dorsal and lateral head of the adult haematophagous bug Triatoma infestans were analyzed by means of cobalt filling.

Sensory transfer between handfeel touch and mouthfeel: A guide for developing a tool to describe mouthfeel properties of red wines

open access: yesOENO One
The importance of mouthfeel in the comprehensive evaluation of red wine quality is widely acknowledged; however, instruments that are capable of differentiating between wines based on this attribute are scarce. The objective of this study was to develop

Bioinspired Crossmodal Tactile Sensory Nerve for High‐Accurate Object Recognition

open access: yesENERGY &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 ...

An FE Simulation Study on Population Response of RA-I Mechanoreceptor to Different Widths of Square Indenter

open access: yesSICE Journal of Control, Measurement, and System Integration, 2017
Rapid adapting type-I (RA-I) receptor is one type of mechanoreceptors in the human skin. They are believed to be responsible for the detection of stimuli that produce minute skin motion (flutter, slip, microgeometric surface features).

Can trigeminal sensations impact saltiness perception? A mini‐review

open access: yesJournal 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).

An elastic segment of the whisker shaft enables coding of the whisking phase via whisker torsion in rats and mice. [PDF]

open access: yesAnat Rec (Hoboken)
An elastic segment was found in the basal part of the whisker shaft in rats and mice. Application of force to the whisker bulb of isolated follicles caused bending and twisting of this segment. Active whisker movements deform this segment, causing whisker shaft deflection and selective activation of mechanoreceptors at different phases of whisking ...
