Abstract:

Many airway sensory units respond to both lung inflation and deflation. Whether those responses to opposite stimuli come from one sensor (one-sensor theory) or more than one sensor (multiple-sensor theory) is debatable. One-sensor theory is commonly presumed in the literature. This article proposes a multiple-sensor theory in which a sensory unit contains different sensors for sensing different forces. Two major types of mechanical sensors operate in the lung: inflation- and deflation-activated receptors (DARs). Inflation-activated sensors can be further divided into slowly adapting receptors

Abstract:

Abstract Genetic approaches in the fruit fly, Drosophila melanogaster, have led to a major triumph in the field of sensory biology—the discovery of multiple large families of sensory receptors and channels. Some of these families, such as transient receptor potential channels, are conserved from animals ranging from worms to humans, while others, such as “gustatory receptors,” “olfactory receptors,” and “ionotropic receptors,” are restricted to invertebrates. Prior to the identification of sensory receptors in flies, it was widely assumed that these proteins function in just one modality such

Abstract:

Conventional one-sensor theory (one afferent fiber connects to a single sensor) categorizes the bronchopulmonary mechanosensors into the rapidly adapting receptors (RARs), slowly adapting receptors (SARs), or intermediate adapting receptors (IARs). RARs and SARs are known to sense the rate and magnitude of mechanical change, respectively; however, there is no agreement on what IARs sense. Some investigators believe that the three types of sensors are actually one group with similar but different properties and IARs operate within that group. Other investigators (majority) believe IARs overlap

Abstract:

Since the shapes of sensory receptors are so exquisitely specialized for mediating their unique functions, the cytoskeletons of sensory cells are deployed for morphogenetic and motile objectives in particularly interesting ways. Receptors erect cytoskeletal scaffolding to support two basic sorts of surface elaborations: 1) those designed to achieve the most effective presentation of specialized membrane laden with receptor proteins (photoreceptors, olfactory receptors, taste cells, and chemoreceptors), and 2) those designed to respond directly to mechanical perturbations in the cell's environm

Abstract:

Hearing loss is the inability to hear sounds ranging from 20 decibels or more in one or both ears. It can affect one or both ears and leads to difficulty in hearing speech or sounds in general. Single-sided deafness or unilateral hearing loss is a very widespread disability. However, most people only see hearing loss as being a binary problem assuming that you either have perfect hearing in both ears or are completely deaf in both ears, and dismiss the other types of hearing loss. Sensory substitution involves remapping the information gathered by one sensory receptor to another. Sensory recep

The olfactory system detects and discriminates myriad chemical structures across a wide range of concentrations.

How does an area of sensory cortex recognize the specific nature of the sensory mode of the stimulus that arrives from the peripheral sensory receptor, when nerve impulses are only all-or-nothing action potentials? Work in animals has shown that an area of sensory cortex can learn in which mode to respond. A period of cortical learning is required for phantom limb phenomena to develop, and for the ocular blind to dream in the visual mode. Arguing from these facts I develop the hypothesis that within the sensory cortices there are neurons that learn by neurotropic factor transport from their se

Abstract:

Our study is the first to show that IBD causes profound impairment of sensory vasodilation and inhibition of sympathetic vasoconstriction in mesenteric arteries. This occurs alongside decreased SP-containing nerve density and increased expression of NK1 receptors for SP. In contrast, CGRP dilation, nerve density, and receptor expression are unchanged. Blocking NK1 receptors restores sensory vasodilation in MAs and increases CGRP-mediated vasodilation, indicating that SP interference with CGRP signaling may underlie impaired sensory vasodilation with IBD.

Abstract:

Biomedical receptors such as cutaneous receptors or intelligent cells with tactile, auditory, gustatory, and olfactory sensations function in the five senses of the human body. Investigations focusing on the configuration of such receptors are useful in the fields of robotics and sensors in the food industry, among others, which involve artificial organs or sensory machines. In the present study, we aimed to produce the receptors for four senses (excepting vision) by morphologically mimicking virtual human ones. The mimicked receptors were categorized into eight types of configured structure.

Abstract:

An emerging challenge in developing intelligent prostheses is to replicate or recreate the sensory functions of natural limbs for amputees. Such functions mainly include tactile sensation and proprioception. This paper reviews the tactile receptors and proprioceptors in human upper limb, the artificial sensors in upper limb prosthesis, and the sensory feedback technology used for reconstruction of lost sensory function in the amputee’s upper limb.

Abstract Aims In temporomandibular disorders sufferers, muscle pain is more severe in individuals who have undergone a traumatic stress. Why stress exacerbates masticatory muscle pain in these individuals is not known. One possibility is that under conditions of stress there is an interaction between the sympathetic and sensory nervous systems. This study investigated whether trigeminal ganglion neurons that innervate the masseter muscle express α1 adrenergic receptor subtypes to identify whether a direct interaction between the sympathetic and sensory nervous systems is feasible.

Abstract:

<strong>Background: </strong>Ionotropic receptors (IRs) are a large, divergent subfamily of ionotropic glutamate receptors (iGluRs) that are expressed in diverse peripheral sensory neurons and function in olfaction, taste, hygrosensation and thermosensation. Analogous to the cell biological properties of their synaptic iGluR ancestors, IRs are thought to form heteromeric complexes that localise to the ciliated dendrites of sensory neurons. IR complexes are composed of selectively expressed 'tuning' receptors and one of two broadly expressed co-receptors (IR8a or IR25a). While the extracellular

Abstract:

AbstractThe GABAC receptor subtypes on bipolar cells of rats and cold-blooded vertebrates differ in their pharmacological properties and probably have different molecular compositions. With the exception of the rat, native GABAC receptors in mammals had not been studied. In ferret, whole-cell, voltage-clamp recordings were made from bipolar cells in the retinal slice preparation to determine which subtype of GABAC receptor predominated. Puff-evoked GABA currents in bipolar cells were partially reduced by the GABAA receptor antagonist bicuculline, indicating that both GABAA and GABAC receptors

Abstract:

In anesthetized rats, activation of renal sensory receptors with a mechanical stimulus (increased ureteral pressure) and a chemical stimulus (renal pelvic perfusion with 0.9 M NaCl) results in an increase in ipsilateral afferent renal nerve activity and a reflex increase in contralateral urine flow rate and urinary sodium excretion, i.e., a contralateral inhibitory renorenal reflex. Because both interventions are known to increase renal prostaglandin (PG) synthesis, we examined whether renal PGs were involved in the renorenal reflex response to renal sensory receptor stimulation.

Abstract:

It is known that glutamate is a major excitatory transmitter of sensory and cortical afferents to the thalamus. These actions are mediated via several distinct receptors with postsynaptic excitatory effects predominantly mediated by ionotropic receptors of the α–amino–3–hydroxy–5–methyl–4–isoxazolepropionate (AMPA) and N –methyl–D–aspartate varieties (NMDA). However, there are also other kinds of glutamate receptor present in the thalamus, notably the metabotropic and kainate types, and these may have more complex or subtle roles in sensory transmission.
