To effectively adapt to change, living organisms rely on their ability to rapidly detect and process sensory information in ...

the conversion of a stimulus sensed by a receptor cell into an electrical impulse, which is then transmitted by the nervous system – it is the absorption of energy from a stimulus and the conversion ...

The project will study the structure and function of temperature-sensitive proteins in animals adapted to different thermal ...

These results highlight the importance of Stat3 in maintaining proper auditory function, which plays a critical role in sensory and epithelial cells for correct sound transduction. Specifically, Stat3 ...

Sensory systems include the parts of the nervous system responsible for processing sensory information, including the visual system, auditory system, olfactory system, somatosensory system ...

However, these behaviours do not necessarily mean that a child is simply spoiled, rude or hyperactive – they may, in fact, have issues processing sensory information, meaning their brains ...

In addition, in situ hybridization showed TR1 and 2 to be concentrated in different sensory areas of the ... couple to those G proteins and transduction cascades present. These complex ...

Targeting the kappa opioid receptor with an agonist is a new pharmacy strategy for treating moderate to severe CKD-associated ...

This manuscript presents a valuable minimal model of habituation which is quantified by information theoretic measures. The results here could be of use in interpreting habituation behavior in a range ...

Dietary protein absorption in neonatal mammals and fishes relies on the function of a specialized and conserved population of highly absorptive lysosome rich enterocytes (LREs). The gut microbiome has ...
