Sensory Neuroscience: A Taste for Light and the Origin of Animal Vision [PDF]
Current Biology, 2020 Opsins are genes underpinning vision in animals. A new study shows that they are also involved in taste perception in fruit flies, significantly expanding their scope of action. This has important implications for our understanding of the evolution of vision.

Neutrophils promote CXCR3-dependent itch in the development of atopic dermatitis. [PDF]
, 2019 Chronic itch remains a highly prevalent disorder with limited treatment options. Most chronic itch diseases are thought to be driven by both the nervous and immune systems, but the fundamental molecular and cellular interactions that trigger the ...

Lamina-specific AMPA receptor dynamics following visual deprivation in vivo. [PDF]
, 2020 Regulation of AMPA receptor (AMPAR) expression is central to synaptic plasticity and brain function, but how these changes occur in vivo remains elusive.

A predictive processing theory of sensorimotor contingencies: explaining the puzzle of perceptual presence and its absence in synesthesia [PDF]
, 2014 Normal perception involves experiencing objects within perceptual scenes as real, as existing in the world. This property of “perceptual presence” has motivated “sensorimotor theories” which understand perception to involve the mastery of sensorimotor ...

Exploiting Multiple Sensory Modalities in Brain-Machine Interfaces [PDF]
, 2009 Recent improvements in cortically-controlled brain-machine interfaces (BMIs) have raised hopes that such technologies may improve the quality of life of severely motor-disabled patients.

Primary interoceptive cortex activity during simulated experiences of the body [PDF]
, 2019 Studies of the classic exteroceptive sensory systems (e.g., vision, touch) consistently demonstrate that vividly imagining a sensory experience of the world – simulating it – is associated with increased activity in the corresponding primary sensory ...
