Tactile perception and motion processing are central to understanding how the human somatosensory system interprets the environment. The integration of spatial and temporal signals from the skin ...

Challenges in sensory processing are common among adolescents with episodic migraine, while sensory avoidance may be related to individual pain experience, pain catastrophizing, and disability level, ...

Our body movements profoundly impact how our brain processes sensory information. Historically, it was believed that the brain's primary motor cortex played a key role in modulating sensory ...

The neocortex comprises the largest part of the cerebral cortex and is the outermost layer that covers the structures of the brain. Comprised of four main lobes with specific functions, the cortex ...

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

Your expectations shape and quicken your perceptions. A new model that explains the effect suggests it’s time to update theories about sensory processing. Imagine picking up a glass of what you think ...

To enjoy the scent of morning coffee and freshly baked cookies or to perceive the warning smell of something burning, the brain needs two types of cells, neurons and astrocytes, to work closely with ...

Motion sickness is caused by vestibular sensory conflict. This means, there is a difference between incoming vestibular information and what we expect that vestibular information to be. Symptoms of ...

Researchers have uncovered novel aspects of astrocyte function in olfactory, or smell, perception revealing changes in their gene expression patterns that turn these brain cells into a hub of ...
