Heightened foot signals: Scientists say being near a drop makes the brain boost sensory input from the feet, sharpening balance control. Why it happens: The soles’ receptors detect subtle changes in ...

Sensory processing is fundamental to perception, action, and cognition, and its disruption contributes to a wide range of neurological, psychiatric, and ...

The thermosensory neuron AFD unexpectedly modulates locomotion based on tactile experience through molecular and circuit mechanisms distinct from those underlying thermosensation.

Early visual alpha oscillations correlate on a trial-by-trial basis with steady-state responses at later stages of the processing stream, implying a role in signal enhancement and interareal ...

Height triggers foot signals: Scientists found that proximity to a drop causes the nervous system to boost sensory input from the feet, aiding balance. Evolutionary safety reflex: Experts believe this ...

Sensory processing abnormalities are consistently observed in autism spectrum disorder (ASD), attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), and ...

Virtually anyone can have a sensory processing issue; however, more often than not, sensory processing challenges affect the neurodiverse. More specifically, they're commonly seen in ...
