Shedding light on human olfaction: Electrophysiological recordings from sensory neurons in acute slices of olfactory epithelium

iScience, 2023
Summary: The COVID-19 pandemic brought attention to our limited understanding of human olfactory physiology. While the cellular composition of the human olfactory epithelium is similar to that of other vertebrates, its functional properties are largely ...

Closed loop interactions between spiking neural network and robotic simulators based on MUSIC and ROS [PDF]

, 2016
In order to properly assess the function and computational properties of simulated neural systems, it is necessary to account for the nature of the stimuli that drive the system.

Activity in the Visual Cortex is Modulated by Top-Down Attention Locked to Reaction Time [PDF]

, 2007
We studied the correlation between perception and hemodynamic activity in the visual cortex in a change detection task. Whenever the observer perceived the location of a change, rightly or wrongly, the blood oxygenation level-dependent signal increased ...

A connexin30 mutation rescues hearing and reveals roles for gap junctions in cochlear amplification and micromechanics

Nature Communications, 2017
A point mutation in the gap-junction protein connexin 30 stops early onset age-related hearing loss. Here, the authors show that gap junctions contribute to cochlear micromechanics and that cochlear amplification is likely controlled by extracellular ...

Seven properties of self-organization in the human brain [PDF]

, 2020
The principle of self-organization has acquired a fundamental significance in the newly emerging field of computational philosophy. Self-organizing systems have been described in various domains in science and philosophy including physics, neuroscience ...

Causal contribution and dynamical encoding in the striatum during evidence accumulation. [PDF]

, 2018
A broad range of decision-making processes involve gradual accumulation of evidence over time, but the neural circuits responsible for this computation are not yet established.

ATP as a presynaptic modulator [PDF]

, 2000
© 2000 Elsevier Science Inc.There is considerable evidence that ATP acts as a fast transmitter or co-transmitter in autonomic and sensory nerves mostly through activation of ionotropic P2X receptors but also through metabotropic P2Y receptors. By analogy,

Resting-state functional connectivity changes in the human brain from electrically-stimulated (2 Hz), rhythmic muscle contractions to the hand: An exploratory study

NeuroImage: Reports
Sensory nerves from contracting skeletal muscles can alter autonomic functions mediated by connections in the medulla and hypothalamus. We hypothesized that low-frequency, non-voluntary, rhythmical electrical stimulation of small muscles of the hand, in ...

A Network Analysis Approach to Detect and Differentiate Usher Syndrome Types Using miRNA Expression Profiles: A Pilot Study

BioMedInformatics
Background: Usher syndrome (USH) is a rare genetic disorder that affects both hearing and vision. It presents in three clinical types—USH1, USH2, and USH3—with varying onset, severity, and disease progression.
