Primary sensory cortices contain distinguishable spatial patterns of activity for each sense [PDF]

open access: yes, 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 ...

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

open access: yeseLife, 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

open access: yesMedicina, 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

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

open access: yesCurrent 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.

Event-related brain potential correlates of human auditory sensory memory-trace formation [PDF]

open access: yes, 2005
The event-related potential (ERP) component mismatch negativity (MMN) is a neural marker of human echoic memory. MMN is elicited by deviant sounds embedded in a stream of frequent standards, reflecting the deviation from an inferred memory trace of the ...

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

open access: yesFrontiers 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 ...

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

open access: yes, 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

Sensory Neuroscience: Linking Dopamine, Expectation, and Hallucinations [PDF]

open access: yesCurrent 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.

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

open access: yes, 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]

open access: yes, 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 ...
