Effects of sensory deprivation on glomerular interneurons in the mouse olfactory bulb: differences in mortality and phenotypic adjustment of dopaminergic neurons [PDF]
Frontiers in Cellular Neuroscience, 2023 Neurogenesis persists in the mammalian subventricular zone after birth, producing various populations of olfactory bulb (OB) interneurons, including GABAergic and mixed dopaminergic/GABAergic (DA) neurons for the glomerular layer. While olfactory sensory

Hypnagogia, psychedelics, and sensory deprivation: the mythic structure of dream-like experiences [PDF]
Frontiers in PsychologyIntroductionDream-like and psychedelic experiences often display internally illogical structures. Recent theories propose that these experiences function as “spontaneous offline simulations” related to specific brain processes.

Sensory Deprivation and the Brain: Neurobiological Mechanisms, Psychological Effects, and Clinical Implications [PDF]
Brain SciencesBackground/Objectives: Sensory deprivation, defined as a reduction or absence of external sensory input across one or more modalities, has long been investigated in extreme and experimental settings.

Sensory deprivation in Staphylococcus aureus [PDF]
Nature Communications, 2018 Bacteria use two-component systems (TCSs) to sense and respond to environmental changes. Here, the authors show that Staphylococcus aureus can survive in the absence of all its 16 TCSs under growth arrest conditions, and each TCS seems to be sufficient ...

The Emergence of Synaesthesia in a Neuronal Network Model via Changes in Perceptual Sensitivity and Plasticity. [PDF]
PLoS Computational Biology, 2016 Synaesthesia is an unusual perceptual experience in which an inducer stimulus triggers a percept in a different domain in addition to its own. To explore the conditions under which synaesthesia evolves, we studied a neuronal network model that represents

Tinnitus-like "hallucinations" elicited by sensory deprivation in an entropy maximization recurrent neural network. [PDF]
PLoS Computational Biology, 2021 Sensory deprivation has long been known to cause hallucinations or "phantom" sensations, the most common of which is tinnitus induced by hearing loss, affecting 10-20% of the population.

Psychotic-like experiences and their cognitive appraisal under short-term sensory deprivation [PDF]
Frontiers in Psychiatry, 2014 Aims: This study aimed to establish and compare the effects of brief sensory deprivation on individuals differing in trait hallucination proneness. Method: 18 participants selected for high hallucination-proneness were compared against 18 participants ...

Global remapping of the sensory homunculus emerges early in childhood development [PDF]
Nature CommunicationsSome of the most dramatic examples of neuroplasticity in the human brain follow congenital sensory deprivation, yet the plasticity mechanisms producing this large-scale cortical remapping remain poorly understood.
