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

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 ...

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.

Sensory Neuroscience: Linking Dopamine, Expectation, and Hallucinations [PDF]
Current Biology, 2018 Psychosis is associated with a dysregulation of the brain's dopamine-mediated neurotransmitter system. Yet, specific mechanisms underlying psychotic symptoms are not well understood. A new study has now uncovered a dopamine-dependent mechanism that explains why psychotic patients experience hallucinations.

Auditory white noise exposure results in intrinsic cortical excitability changes
iScience, 2023 Summary: Cortical excitability is commonly measured by applying magnetic stimulation in combination with measuring behavioral response. This measure has, however, some shortcomings including spatial limitation to the primary motor cortex and not ...

Sensory Neuroscience: Taste Responses in Primary Olfactory Cortex [PDF]
Current Biology, 2013 A new electrophysiological study in rodents demonstrates that taste-odor convergence occurs in posterior piriform olfactory cortex and calls for a reformulation of classic models of the central representation of flavor.
