'Taku Kamiya' 'Daichi Shiotsu' 'Ichiro M. Omori' 'Hidehiko Okazawa' 'Hirotaka Kosaka' 'Minyoung Jung' 'Christos Papadelis'] The caudate nucleus has been thought to be involved in the control of motor commands by the cerebrum, and recent studies suggest that it may play a role in the control of attachment behavior…

The time is ripe to integrate burgeoning evidence of the important role of sensory and motor functioning in mental health within the National Institute of Mental Health’s [NIMH] Research Domain Criteria [RDoC] framework ([82]), a multi-dimensional method of characterizing mental functioning in health and disease across…

Sensory processing has been studied across many scientific disciplines using different epistemologies and ontologies. The diversity in philosophical and scientific approaches has yielded different sensory processing theories with varying assumptions and conceptualizations of what sensory processing is and how it…

For more than 50 years, “Sensory Integration” has been a theoretical framework for diagnosing and treating disabilities in children under the umbrella of “sensory integration dysfunction” (SID). More recently, the approach has been reframed as “the dimensions of sensory processing” or SPD in place of SID, so the review…

Sensory information is conveyed from peripheral receptors through specific thalamic relays to primary areas of the cerebral cortex. Information is then routed to specialized areas for the treatment of specific aspects of the sensory signals and to multisensory associative areas. Information processing in primary…

Different attributes of the external environment are initially detected and processed by distinct sensory systems and later integrated in multisensory areas of the brain. Multisensory integration is critical for establishing a comprehensive percept of the world, detecting salient stimuli, and communicating effectively.…

The rapid demographical shift occurring in our society implies that understanding of healthy aging and age-related diseases is one of our major future challenges. Sensory impairments have an enormous impact on our lives and are closely linked to cognitive functioning. Due to the inherent complexity of sensory…

Here we present evidence for the ubiquity of fine spike timing and temporal coding broadly observed across sensory systems and widely conserved across diverse phyla, spanning invertebrates and vertebrates. A taxonomy of basic neural coding types includes channel activation patterns, temporal patterns of spikes, and…

This study introduces sensory responsivity (SR), which describes individual differences in sensory stimuli response strength and is hypothesised to affect stress responses in students and, in turn, their learning. To investigate this, a scale to assess SR was developed and linked to physiological responses. To this…

Sensory processing varies across individuals, often manifesting as distinct traits. Some traits, particularly sensory hypersensitivity, even to basic non-valenced stimuli, are closely linked to emotional traits and implicated in a diversity of psychiatric disorders. Extant theories attribute this sensory-emotion…

Sensory systems are known for their adaptability, responding dynamically to changes in environmental conditions. A key example of this adaptability is the enhancement of tactile perception in the absence of visual input. Despite behavioral studies showing visual deprivation can improve tactile discrimination, the…

The traditional view of modality-specific brain organization has been challenged by demonstrations of cross-modal processing, i.e. the activation of sensory cortex by atypical sensory input. An alternative theory suggests that rather than specializing simply in different sensory modalities, different parts of the…

Two universal functional principles of Grossberg's Adaptive Resonance Theory [19] decipher the brain code of all biological learning and adaptive intelligence. Low-level representations of multisensory stimuli in their immediate environmental context are formed on the basis of bottom-up activation and under the control…

In this paper, we will provide an introduction to the brain structure and function. Brain is an astonishing living organ inside our heads, weighing about 1.5kg, consisting of billions of tiny cells. The brain enables us to sense the world around us (to touch, to smell, to see and to hear, etc.), to think and to respond…

Merging information from across sensory modalities is key to forming robust, disambiguated percepts of the world, yet how the brain achieves this feat remains unclear. Recent observations of cross-modal influences in primary sensory cortical areas have suggested that multisensory integration may occur in the earliest…

This is a follow-up tutorial article of [17] and [16], in this paper, we will introduce several important cognitive functions of the brain. Brain cognitive functions are the mental processes that allow us to receive, select, store, transform, develop, and recover information that we've received from external stimuli.…

Sound perception is highly malleable, rapidly adjusting to the acoustic environment and behavioral demands. This flexibility is the result of ongoing changes in auditory cortical activity driven by fluctuations in attention, arousal, or prior expectations. Recent work suggests that the orbitofrontal cortex (OFC) may…

The human brain processes a wide variety of inputs and does so either consciously or subconsciously. According to the Global Workspace theory, conscious processing involves broadcasting of information to several regions of the brain and subconscious processing involves more localized processing. This theoretical paper…

Machine olfaction—the artificial replication of the sense of smell—faces significant challenges due to the absence of large, standardized training datasets. Unlike vision, language, and audio models, which benefit from extensive corpora such as ImageNet, GLUE, and AudioSet, olfaction lacks scaled equivalents and…

The five senses are gateways to our wellbeing and their decline is considered a significant public health challenge which is linked to multiple conditions that contribute significantly to morbidity and mortality. Modern technology, with its ubiquitous nature and fast data processing has the ability to leverage the…

We report a reusable cross-reactive plasmonic sensing system that generates unique optical fingerprints for any liquid mixture. The platform leverages a multiplexed plasmonic chip and methodology for creating 24 orthogonally modified sensors, coupled with hyperspectral imaging. We demonstrate the versatility and…

This research delves into olfaction, a sensory modality that remains complex and inadequately understood. We aim to fill in two gaps in recent studies that attempted to use machine learning and deep learning approaches to predict human smell perception. The first one is that molecules are usually represented with…

This paper formally defines an operational isomorphism between spectral damping in molecular vibronic systems and neuromodulatory control in biological sensory systems. Without asserting causal continuity or physical identity across scales, we show that both domains instantiate the same class of output-selective…

Occupational chemical hazards pose profound risks to chemists in laboratory and industrial settings, encompassing acute and chronic exposures that imperil sensory organs (e.g., ocular, auditory, olfactory, dermal) and vital physiological systems. This manuscript delineates a multifaceted, innovative protocol suite…
