The burning pain associated with cystitis affects millions of people around the world, and it can take days or even years for some patients to find relief from bladder pain, infection-related symptoms and the constant need to urinate. A new study led by Flinders University publis

Researchers at the Medical University of Vienna and ETH Zurich have developed a rehabilitation platform for people suffering from the long-term effects of a stroke that combines virtual reality with targeted sensory nerve stimulation. In a randomized feasibility clinical study wi

A research team led by Prof. Hyosang Lee of the Department of Brain Sciences at DGIST has identified TWIK-1, a type of potassium channel expressed in the spinal cord and peripheral sensory neurons of the somatosensory system, as a key molecular regulator of touch sensation and ch

While exploring the world around them, both humans and other animals continuously interpret information they pick up with their sight, hearing, touch and other senses. Neuroscience research suggests that the brain does not individually process every single sensory experience, but

The brain uses visual cues to coordinate muscle movement. When motor commands and sensory feedback are out of alignment, visuo-motor errors occur. Rapid perception of these errors allows for correction, which is important in many aspects of life—from preventing falls among older

Echinoderms, such as starfish, sea urchins and sea lilies, use small, flexible, tubular projections called "tube feet" for locomotion, feeding, respiration and sensory perception. Crinoids, a subgroup of echinoderms, are known to have a long fossil record, but these fossils usual

A research team led by Professor Chaogu Zheng from the School of Biological Sciences at the University of Hong Kong (HKU), in collaboration with scientists from Princeton University and Columbia University, has discovered how sensory-motor circuits—nerve circuits that turn sensor

A new study suggests the brain begins making decisions much earlier than scientists previously thought. Researchers found that even primary sensory regions are influenced by higher brain areas through rapid feedback loops, rather than simply passing information forward. This more
