Sensory systems processing in children with spastic cerebral palsy: a pilot study
Background The study of the sensory aspect alongside the motor aspect in children with spastic cerebral palsy is critical. Knowledge may help improve intervention, children’s quality of life, activity, and participation.

Agreeable smellers and sensitive neurotics - correlations among personality traits and sensory thresholds [PDF]
Correlations between personality traits and a wide range of sensory thresholds were examined. Participants (N = 124) completed a personality inventory (NEO-FFI) and underwent assessment of olfactory, trigeminal, tactile and gustatory detection thresholds,

Disruption of Otoferlin Alters the Mode of Exocytosis at the Mouse Inner Hair Cell Ribbon Synapse
Sound encoding relies on Ca2+-mediated exocytosis at the ribbon synapse between cochlear inner hair cells (IHCs) and type I spiral ganglion neurons (SGNs).

Dissociation of phantom limb phenomena from stump tactile spatial acuity and sensory thresholds [PDF]
Most amputees experience phantom limb sensations and/or phantom limb pain as well as residual limb (stump) pain that are resistant to treatment. Phantom phenomena are not homogeneous; each patient presents with a unique combination of spontaneous or ...

Complementary Sensory and Associative Microcircuitry in Primary Olfactory Cortex [PDF]
The three-layered primary olfactory (piriform) cortex is the largest component of the olfactory cortex. Sensory and intracortical inputs converge on principal cells in the anterior piriform cortex (aPC).Wecharacterize organization principles of the ...

A Review of the Evidence for Sensory Interventions in the Treatment of ASD [PDF]
It is estimated that Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) affects 1 in 88 children (CDC, 2012). Given this rapid and little understood increase in prevalence, the study of ASD and the search for effective treatments has become an area of intense interest ...

A close eye on the eagle-eyed visual acuity hypothesis of autism [PDF]
Autism spectrum disorders (ASD) have been associated with sensory hypersensitivity. A recent study reported visual acuity (VA) in ASD in the region reported for birds of prey. The validity of the results was subsequently doubted.

Summary: Goal-directed behaviors involve coordinated activity in many cortical areas, but whether the encoding of task variables is distributed across areas or is more specifically represented in distinct areas remains unclear.

Pathway-, layer- and cell-type-specific thalamic input to mouse barrel cortex
Mouse primary somatosensory barrel cortex (wS1) processes whisker sensory information, receiving input from two distinct thalamic nuclei. The first-order ventral posterior medial (VPM) somatosensory thalamic nucleus most densely innervates layer 4 (L4 ...

Unusual sensory experiences in people on the autism spectrum [PDF]
Past research has indicated that people diagnosed as being on the autism spectrum have unusual sensory experiences when compared with typically developing individuals (e. g., Tomchek & Dunn, 2007; Watling et al., 2001).
