A Two‐Stage Characterization Pipeline and Open‐Source Framework for Reproducible Tactile Sensing

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
The same soft tactile sensor returns different numbers when embodied in different robots. This is an Embodiment Gap that no shared framework currently captures transparently. A two‐stage characterization pipeline, paired with a FAIR open‐source digital datasheet, decouples intrinsic sensor behavior from embodiment effects and condenses cross‐laboratory

Neural axis abnormalities detected by preoperative magnetic resonance imaging in patients with type III idiopathic scoliosisv

Acta Orthopaedica et Traumatologica Turcica, 2021
Objectives: We investigated the presence of neural axis abnormalities by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in patients with clinically and radiologically confirmed absolute flexible thoracic curves (King–Moe type III).\nMethods: Preoperative MRI scans of ...

10 Hz tACS Over Somatosensory Cortex Does Not Modulate Supra-Threshold Tactile Temporal Discrimination in Humans

Frontiers in Neuroscience, 2019
Perception of physical identical stimuli can differ over time depending on the brain state. One marker of this brain state can be neuronal oscillations in the alpha band (8–12 Hz).

Gut–Brain Axis Modulation by Short‐Chain Fatty Acids Exerts Disease‐Modifying Effects in a Murine Model of Drug‐Resistant Epilepsy

Annals of Neurology, EarlyView.
Objective Drug‐resistant epilepsy (DRE) remains a clinical challenge, as therapies modifying disease trajectory are lacking. Increasing evidence implicates gut microbiota dysbiosis in epilepsy pathophysiology, with short‐chain fatty acids (SCFAs) emerging as key microbial metabolites with neuroprotective and anti‐inflammatory properties.

Diabetes and the Metabolic Syndrome as Drivers of Neurodegeneration: Convergent Mechanisms Linking Peripheral Neuropathy and Dementia

Annals of Neurology, EarlyView.
The metabolic syndrome, a state of progressive metabolic dysfunction, injures the peripheral and central nervous systems, promoting peripheral neuropathy (PN) and cognitive impairment (CI), respectively. We posit PN and CI are connected in the metabolic syndrome framework, built on the premise that neurons, whether in the peripheral or central nervous ...

Neutrophils promote CXCR3-dependent itch in the development of atopic dermatitis

eLife, 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 ...

The Somatosensory Mismatch Negativity

European Journal of Neuroscience
ABSTRACT Mismatch negativity (MMN) is a well‐established neural signature of automatic change detection in the auditory modality. Growing evidence suggests that analogous responses exist in other sensory domains, including somatosensation.

Establishing Sensory Neurons as Therapeutic Targets in Peripheral Neuropathy Driven by Polyglutamine Expanded Murine ATXN3

Annals of Neurology, EarlyView.
Repeat expansion disorders frequently involve peripheral neuropathy, yet mechanisms remain unclear. Using a spinocerebellar ataxia type 3 (SCA3) Knock‐In Atxn3Q300/Q6, we identify progressive sensorimotor deficits, peripheral nerve pathology, and dorsal root ganglia RNA splicing dysregulation.

Unfused transverse foramen of the atlas vertebra in the Neandertal lineage fossils

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract In anatomically modern humans, the atlas can display an unfused transverse foramen (UTF) but currently the presence of UTF in the Neandertal lineage is uncertain due to a scarcity of prevalence studies and no exhaustive record of its presence throughout the entire hominin fossil record.
