Effect of high carbohydrate high fat diet on hippocampal neurovascular coupling in a rat model of Alzheimer’s Disease [PDF]
Alzheimers DementAbstract Background Interaction of Alzheimer's Disease (AD) pathology and vascular comorbidities is difficult to study in humans due to slow course of AD and high prevalence of patients with mixed pathologies. Vascular comorbidities (e.g., with obesity) are highly prevalent and increase the risk of developing dementia.

Nobel somatosensations and pain [PDF]
Pflügers Archiv - European Journal of Physiology, 2022 AbstractThe Nobel prices 2021 for Physiology and Medicine have been awarded to David Julius and Ardem Patapoutian "for their discoveries of receptors for temperature and touch", TRPV1 and PIEZO1/2. The present review tells the past history of the capsaicin receptor, covers further selected TRP channels, TRPA1 in particular, and deals with ...

Topics in Cognitive Science, EarlyView., 2023 Abstract Representational drift is a phenomenon of increasing interest in the cognitive and neural sciences. While investigations are ongoing for other sensory cortices, recent research has demonstrated the pervasiveness in which it occurs in the piriform cortex for olfaction.

Merkel Cells in Somatosensation [PDF]
Chemosensory Perception, 2008 Merkel cells are rare epidermal cells whose function in the skin is still debated. These cells localize to highly touch-sensitive areas of vertebrate epithelia, including palatine ridges, touch domes and finger tips. In most cases, Merkel cells complex with somatosensory afferents to form slowly adapting touch receptors; it is unclear, however, whether

Human Somatosensory Processing and Artificial Somatosensation [PDF]
Cyborg and Bionic Systems, 2021 In the past few years, we have gained a better understanding of the information processing mechanism in the human brain, which has led to advances in artificial intelligence and humanoid robots. However, among the various sensory systems, studying the somatosensory system presents the greatest challenge.

On the Somatosensation of Vision [PDF]
Annals of Neurosciences, 2012 The interconnection between vision and somatosensation is already well-established and is further supplemented by the evolutionary link between eyes and photoreceptors, and the functional connection between photosensation and thermoreception. However, our analysis shows that the relation between vision and somatosensation is much deeper and suggests ...

A machine-vision approach for automated pain measurement at millisecond timescales
eLife, 2020 Objective and automatic measurement of pain in mice remains a barrier for discovery in neuroscience. Here, we capture paw kinematics during pain behavior in mice with high-speed videography and automated paw tracking with machine and deep learning ...

Somatosensation: Touching the mind’s fingers [PDF]
Current Biology, 2000 Whether mental operations can be reduced to the biological properties of the brain has intrigued scientists and philosophers alike for millennia. New microstimulation experiments on awake, behaving monkeys establish causality between activity of specialized cortical neurons and a controlled behavior.

The effects of Tai Chi on peripheral somatosensation, balance, and fitness in Hispanic older adults with type 2 diabetes:a pilot and feasibility study [PDF]
, 2015 Peripheral neuropathy and loss of somatosensation in older adults with type 2 diabetes can increase risk of falls and disability. In nondiabetic older adult population Tai Chi has been shown to enhance balance and fitness through improvements in ...

Patch-seq of mouse DRG neurons reveals candidate genes for specific mechanosensory functions
Cell Reports, 2021 Summary: A variety of mechanosensory neurons are involved in touch, proprioception, and pain. Many molecular components of the mechanotransduction machinery subserving these sensory modalities remain to be discovered.
