Wayward as the Minnehaha with her moods of shade and sunshine
… of the human body. In comparison with the sense organs of other animals, humans are capable of acquiring information about the world almost equally with one sense as with another, for while vision is greater over distance, touch and hearing have more emotive capacity. Architectural design …

Regulation and function of genes involved in drosophila ciliogenesis
… specification of precursor cells of sense organs (SOPs). Despite considerable progress having been made in this field, it remains unknown how proneural proteins organise the well-orchestrated process that facilitates each type of SOP to acquire both generic neuronal properties and …

Effect of space conditions on neuronal plasticity and connectivity
… that in weightlessness conditions, equilibrium sense organs can send misleading inputs to the central nervous system which is forced to develop new strategies and adapt to adequately translate these messages. Furthermore, cosmic radiations are known to induce oxidative stress as well as genomic …

Comparative Morphology of Sensilla Styloconica on the Proboscis of North American Nymphalidae and Other Selected Taxa: Systematic and Ecological Considerations.
Sensilla styloconica on the proboscis of 107 species of North American and tropical butterflies were comparatively studied using the scanning electron microscope. Focus was on 76 species of North American Nymphalidae representing 45 genera and 11 subfamilies. Nomenclature for generalized and …

The role of sensus communis in Aristotle, Thomas Aquinas, Locke and Kant
… he examined the function of each peripheral sense-organ of sight, hearing, smiling, tasting and touch, he proceeded to the analysis of the "Sensus Communis," which discriminates between these particular perceptions which are perceived by the five senses and unites them into perceptual wholes. …

Reimagining the Inner Ear: A Morphometric Modeling Approach for Establishing Shape Change in the Evolution of the Human Otolith System
<p>Our sense of balance is among the most central of our sensory systems, particularly in the evolution of human positional behavior. The peripheral vestibular system of the inner ear comprises the organs responsible for this sense; the semicircular canals (detecting angular acceleration) and …

Lucretius and the Problem of Attention
… process whereby either the mind or a sense organ (1) voluntarily, or actively, selects an image, or (2) involuntarily, or passively, is absorbed in a particular train of images. Lucretius’ account of attention (marked by expressions such as ‘se parare et contendere’), its varieties and …

Motion perception with conflicting or congruent visual and vestibular cues
… from both sensory sources (e.g. vestibular organs, visual, proprioceptive), and non-sensory sources (e.g. efferent copy, cognition)). This "spatial orientation" is normally subconscious, and information from multiple sense organs is automatically fused into perception. As late as the early …

Human Olfactory Perception: A Literature Review
<p>There has been wide debate about the degree to which humans are impacted by olfaction. Despite former assumptions that we are dominantly visual/auditory creatures, recent studies suggest that humans are more highly macrosmatic than originally thought. Humans have demonstrated behavioral, …
