Sensory Neuroscience: A Taste for Light and the Origin of Animal Vision [PDF]
Current Biology, 2020 Opsins are genes underpinning vision in animals. A new study shows that they are also involved in taste perception in fruit flies, significantly expanding their scope of action. This has important implications for our understanding of the evolution of vision.

Neuroscience: Hacking development to understand sensory discrimination
Current Biology, 2023 Fine sensory discrimination abilities are enabled by specific neural circuit architectures. A new study reveals how manipulating particular network parameters in the fly's memory centre, the mushroom body, alters sensory coding and discrimination.

Late-Onset MS: Disease Course and Safety-Efficacy of DMTS
Frontiers in Neurology, 2022 Multiple sclerosis (MS), an inflammatory demyelinating and neurodegenerative disease of the central nervous system, usually begins between the ages of 20 and 49 years, though in rare cases it is diagnosed in childhood and adolescence before the age of 18

Evidence for vibration coding of sliding tactile textures in auditory cortex
Frontiers in Neuroscience, 2023 IntroductionPsychophysical studies suggest texture perception is mediated by spatial and vibration codes (duplex theory). Vibration coding, driven by relative motion between digit and stimulus, is involved in the perception of very fine gratings whereas ...

State-dependent representations of mixtures by the olfactory bulb
eLife, 2022 Sensory systems are often tasked to analyse complex signals from the environment, separating relevant from irrelevant parts. This process of decomposing signals is challenging when a mixture of signals does not equal the sum of its parts, leading to an ...

The Input-Output Relationship of AIY Interneurons in Caenorhabditis elegans in Noisy Environment
iScience, 2019 Summary: Determining how neurotransmitter input causes various neuronal activities is crucial to understanding neuronal information processing. In Caenorhabditis elegans, AIY interneurons receive several sources of sensory information as glutamate inputs

Neuroscience: From Sensory Discrimination to Choice in Gustatory Cortex [PDF]
Current Biology, 2020 Sensory areas have been shown to be influenced by higher-order cognitive processes. Yet how do these top-down processes affect decisions? A recent study has revealed a dynamic evolution of neural activity from sensory discrimination to choice in rodent taste cortex.

Perspectives on sensory processing disorder: a call for translational research
Frontiers in Integrative Neuroscience, 2009 This article explores the convergence of two fields, which have similar theoretical origins: a clinical field originally known as sensory integration and a branch of neuroscience that conducts research in an area also called sensory integration ...

Adaptive stimulus optimization for sensory systems neuroscience [PDF]
Frontiers in Neural Circuits, 2013 In this paper, we review several lines of recent work aimed at developing practical methods for adaptive on-line stimulus generation for sensory neurophysiology. We consider various experimental paradigms where on-line stimulus optimization is utilized, including the classical optimal stimulus paradigm where the goal of experiments is to identify a ...
