In findings recently published in Neurorehabilitation and Neural Repair, Semrau and doctoral candidate Joanna Hoh suggest ...

The cellular and molecular mechanisms by which one neuron finds specific target neurons and eventually forms functional sub networks are not fully understood. To better understand how and why these ...

The influence of cortical feedback on receptive field organization in the thalamus was assessed in the primate somatosensory system. Chronic and acute suppression of neuronal activity in primary ...

Given no clear reliable or independent mechanistic grounding underlying different approaches to studying neural adaptation, the lack of consistency in visual ‘gating’ effects, and that there are not ...

A new study looking at neural mechanisms involved in restless legs syndrome has come up with some surprising findings — that the condition seems to be related to changes in the sensory rather than the ...

New research by neuroscientists shows that as neurons process information about texture from the skin, they each respond differently to various features of a surface, creating a high-dimensional ...

Our hands and fingertips are amazingly sensitive to texture. We can easily distinguish coarse sandpaper from smooth glass, but we also pick up more subtle differences across a wide range of textures, ...
