Emergence of sensory attenuation based upon the free-energy principle [PDF]
arXiv, 2021 The brain attenuates its responses to self-produced exteroceptions (e.g., we cannot tickle ourselves). Is this phenomenon, known as sensory attenuation, enabled innately, or acquired through learning? Here, our simulation study using a multimodal hierarchical recurrent neural network model, based on variational free-energy minimization, shows that a ...

Sensory collectives in natural systems
eLife, 2023 Groups of animals inhabit vastly different sensory worlds, or umwelten, which shape fundamental aspects of their behaviour. Yet the sensory ecology of species is rarely incorporated into the emerging field of collective behaviour, which studies the movements, population-level behaviours, and emergent properties of animal groups.

Excessive mechanical loading promotes osteoarthritis through the gremlin-1–NF-κB pathway
Nature Communications, 2019 Excessive mechanical stress promotes the development of osteoarthritis. Here Chang et al. identify gremlin-1 as a factor expressed in chondrocytes in response to mechanical stress, and contributing to osteoarthritis via activation of the NF-κB pathway.

Transplanting Neural Progenitor Cells into a Chronic Dorsal Column Lesion Model
Biomedicines, 2022 Cell transplantation therapy is a promising strategy for spinal cord injury (SCI) repair. Despite advancements in the development of therapeutic strategies in acute and subacute SCI, much less is known about effective strategies for chronic SCI.

Sensitive and selective phenol sensing in denitrifying Aromatoleum aromaticum EbN1T
Microbiology Spectrum, 2023 Aromatoleum aromaticum EbN1T anaerobically degrades phenol, p-cresol, and p-ethylphenol, each via a distinct peripheral pathway. The compound-specific regulation of each pathway is proposed to occur on the transcriptional level in the case of phenol ...

Embodiment Enables Non-Predictive Ways of Coping with Self-Caused Sensory Stimuli [PDF]
arXiv, 2022 Living systems process sensory data to facilitate adaptive behaviour. A given sensor can be stimulated as the result of internally driven activity, or by purely external (environmental) sources. It is clear that these inputs are processed differently - have you ever tried tickling yourself?

Sensory capacity: an information theoretical measure of the performance of a sensor [PDF]
Phys. Rev. E 93, 022116 (2016), 2015 For a general sensory system following an external stochastic signal, we introduce the sensory capacity. This quantity characterizes the performance of a sensor: sensory capacity is maximal if the instantaneous state of the sensor has as much information about a signal as the whole time-series of the sensor.

Epilepsy and the Sensory Systems [PDF]
Epilepsy Currents, 2016 The relations of epilepsy and the sensory systems are bidirectional. Epilepsy may act on sensory systems by producing sensory seizure symptoms, by altering sensory performance, and by epilepsy treatment causing sensory side effects. Sensory system activity may have an important role in both generation and inhibition of seizures.
