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 ...

Direct mechanical stimulation of tip links in hair cells through DNA tethers

eLife, 2016
Mechanoelectrical transduction by hair cells commences with hair-bundle deflection, which is postulated to tense filamentous tip links connected to transduction channels.

Endothelial Dysfunction and Metabolic Disorders in Patients with Sudden Sensorineural Hearing Loss

Medicina, 2023
Sudden sensorineural hearing loss (SSNHL) is defined as a sensorineural hearing loss of 30 dB or greater on at least three contiguous audiometric frequencies occurring within a 72 h period. Although SSNHL is commonly encountered in clinical audiology and

Alpha-band rhythms in visual task performance: phase-locking by rhythmic sensory stimulation [PDF]

, 2012
Oscillations are an important aspect of neuronal activity. Interestingly, oscillatory patterns are also observed in behaviour, such as in visual performance measures after the presentation of a brief sensory event in the visual or another modality. These

Testing Links of Food-Related Olfactory Perception to Peripheral Ghrelin and Leptin Concentrations

Frontiers in Nutrition, 2022
The peptide hormones ghrelin and leptin play major roles in the regulation of appetite and food intake. However, the precise effects of these hormones on sensory processing remain a subject of debate, particularly with food related stimuli and its small ...

Beliefs about the Minds of Others Influence How We Process Sensory Information [PDF]

, 2013
Attending where others gaze is one of the most fundamental mechanisms of social cognition. The present study is the first to examine the impact of the attribution of mind to others on gaze-guided attentional orienting and its ERP correlates.

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 ...

Sensory Neuroscience: Smelling Salts Lead Fish to Safety [PDF]

Current Biology, 2021
Animals use their sensory systems to detect danger in their environments. New research shows that larval zebrafish navigate away from dangerous salt water by using their olfactory systems to detect the presence of both sodium and chloride ions.

Intense isolectin-B4 binding in rat dorsal root ganglion neurons distinguishes c-fiber nociceptors with broad action potentials and high nav1.9 expression [PDF]

, 2006
Binding to isolectin-B4 (IB4) and expression of tyrosine kinase A (trkA) (the high-affinity NGF receptor) have been used to define two different subgroups of nociceptive small dorsal root ganglion (DRG) neurons. We previously showed that only nociceptors

Electrically Induced Sensory Trick in a Patient with Musician’s Dystonia: A Case Report

, 2023
A sensory trick is a specific maneuver that temporarily improves focal dystonia. We describe a case of musician’s dystonia in the right-hand fingers of a patient, who showed good and immediate improvement after using an electrical stimulation ...
