Short-Term Plasticity in Cortical GABAergic Synapses on Olfactory Bulb Granule Cells Is Modulated by Endocannabinoids

open access: yesFrontiers in Cellular Neuroscience, 2021
Olfactory bulb and higher processing areas are synaptically interconnected, providing rapid regulation of olfactory bulb circuit dynamics and sensory processing. Short-term plasticity changes at any of these synapses could modulate sensory processing and

A possible role for taste receptor cells in surveying the oral microbiome.

open access: yesPLoS Biology, 2023
Taste receptor cells are sensory specialists that detect chemicals in food and drink. An exciting new report in PLOS Biology suggests that some taste cells could also be involved in immune surveillance like counterparts in the intestine.

Receptor-interacting protein kinases modulate noise-induced sensory hair cell death [PDF]

open access: yesCell Death & Disease, 2014
Receptor-interacting protein (RIP) kinases promote the induction of necrotic cell death pathways. Here we investigated signaling pathways in outer hair cells (OHCs) of adult male CBA/J mice exposed to noise that causes permanent threshold shifts, with a particular focus on RIP kinase-regulated necroptosis.

Structural organization of the olfactory epithelium of a spotted snakehead fish, Channa punctatus [PDF]

open access: yesActa Ichthyologica et Piscatoria, 2005
Background. Enormous diversities exist regarding shape, number, and arrangement of the olfactory lamellae, distribution of the sensory and non-sensory epithelium as well as the abundance of various receptor cells among different teleosts.

Immunity to the microbiota promotes sensory neuron regeneration.

open access: yesCell, 2023
Tissue immunity and responses to injury depend on the coordinated action and communication among physiological systems. Here, we show that, upon injury, adaptive responses to the microbiota directly promote sensory neuron regeneration.

Molecular regulation of auditory hair cell death and approaches to protect sensory receptor cells and/or stimulate repair following acoustic trauma

open access: yesFrontiers in Cellular Neuroscience, 2015
Loss of auditory sensory hair cells (HCs) is the most common cause of hearing loss. This review addresses the signaling pathways that are involved in the programmed and necrotic cell death of auditory HCs that occur in response to ototoxic and traumatic ...

Specific regulation of mechanical nociception by Gβ5 involves GABA-B receptors

open access: yesJCI Insight, 2023
Mechanical, thermal, and chemical pain sensation is conveyed by primary nociceptors, a subset of sensory afferent neurons. The intracellular regulation of the primary nociceptive signal is an area of active study.

The oral sensory organs in Bathochordaeus stygius (Tunicata Appendicularia) are unique in structure and homologous to the coronal organ

open access: yesFrontiers in Zoology, 2023
Background Appendicularia consists of approximately 70 purely marine species that belong to Tunicata the probable sister taxon to Craniota. Therefore, Appendicularia plays a pivotal role for our understanding of chordate evolution.

Serotonin Receptors and Their Involvement in Melanization of Sensory Cells in Ciona intestinalis

open access: yesCells, 2023
Serotonin (5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT)) is a biogenic monoamine with pleiotropic functions. It exerts its roles by binding to specific 5-HT receptors (5HTRs) classified into different families and subtypes. Homologs of 5HTRs are widely present in invertebrates, but their expression and pharmacological characterization have been scarcely investigated. In

Olfactory and solitary chemosensory cells: two different chemosensory systems in the nasal cavity of the American alligator, Alligator mississippiensis

open access: yesBMC Neuroscience, 2007
Background The nasal cavity of all vertebrates houses multiple chemosensors, either innervated by the Ist (olfactory) or the Vth (trigeminal) cranial nerve. Various types of receptor cells are present, either segregated in different compartments (e.g. in
