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.

Olfactory and Gustatory Supra-Threshold Sensitivities Are Linked to Ad Libitum Snack Choice
Foods, 2022 Snacking is a common eating habit in the modern food environment. Individual snack choices vary substantially, with sweet versus savoury snacks linked to differential health outcomes. The role of olfactory and gustatory sensitivities in snack choices and

Primary sensory cortices contain distinguishable spatial patterns of activity for each sense [PDF]
, 2013 Whether primary sensory cortices are essentially multisensory or whether they respond to only one sense is an emerging debate in neuroscience. Here we use a multivariate pattern analysis of functional magnetic resonance imaging data in humans to ...

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 ...

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

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.

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 ...

Shapes, scents and sounds:quantifying the full multi-sensory basis of conceptual knowledge [PDF]
, 2013 Contemporary neuroscience theories assume that concepts are formed through experience in multiple sensory-motor modalities. Quantifying the contribution of each modality to different object categories is critical to understanding the structure of the ...
