Aspects of the morphology of the ovipositor of Hylotrupes bajulus (L.) (Coleoptera: cerambycidae)
… of the appendicular oviocsitor. Several types of sensory receptors are found on the ovipositor. Segment 8 has both long tactile hairs and short trichoid sensilla. Intersegmental membrane 8/9 has no vi sible sensory receptors. Segment 9 has campaniform receptors and short trichoid sensilla. The …

Electrical system for interfacing with muscle for use in prosthetic devices
… by stimulating residual muscles, which contain sensory receptors that are used for proprioception. This scheme requires measurements of muscle length, velocity, and electrical activation in order to provide feedback control for the stimulation. These measurements can also be used to interpret …

Fine structure of the ovipositor and studies of feeding and oviposition site selection by the serpentine leafminer, Liriomyza trifolii (Burgess) (Diptera: Agromyzidae)
… microscopically to locate and describe types of sensory receptors present. Two basic types were found: trichoid sensilla and basiconic sensilla. These receptors are believed to function as mechano- and chemoreceptors to evaluate the suitability of a host plant for feeding, oviposition, and …

Cognitive Structures of Kinesthetic Space Reevaluating Rudolf Laban's Choreutics In the Context of Spatial Cognition and Motor Control
… Kinesthesia was identified as arising from sensory receptors throughout the body. Kinesthetic space was defined as spatial information derived from kinesthesia. Kinesthetic spatial cognition was defined as cognitive processes (eg. mental rehearsal) involving kinesthetic spatial knowledge. …

Proprioception, balance and lower limb strength in Nigerian children (7-10 years) with Generalized Joint Hypermobility and Developmental Coordination Disorder
… for good postural control and motor performance. Sensory receptors carry information from the joints to the central nervous system for interpretation and appropriate motor response. Damage to these receptors or joint pain may have a negative effect on proprioception and motor control. A number of …

The functional role of the mammalian tectorial membrane in the cochlear mechanics
… (BM) and ultimately stimulate the mechano-sensory receptors. The tectorial membrane (TM) plays a key role in this stimulation process, but its mechanical function remains unclear. Here we show that the TM supports traveling waves that are an intrinsic feature of its visco-elastic structure. …

Comparative genomics of early animal evolution
… taxa is key to understanding the evolution of sensory perception (Nielsen 2008). In this thesis I will investigate both animal phylogenetics (to attempt to resolve the phylogeny among the early branching Metazoa) and the evolution of the metazoan sensory receptors. The G-protein coupled …

A SINGLE GUSTATORY RECEPTOR CAN SWITCH THE INCENTIVE SALIENCE OF A SPECIFIC REWARD
… substitution. These results demonstrate how sensory receptors can dissociate reward perception that guides immediate and long-term behavior. This work also demonstrates how polymorphism of a single sensory receptor can allow evolution of long-term learned behavior utilizing the inherent …

Functional characterization of olfactory receptors and molecular species identification of vector mosquitoes.
… can detect environmental cues by utilizing sensory appendages such as antennae, maxillary palps, and labella. These structures are covered in small hair-like sensilla. Within sensilla reside dendritic extensions of olfactory sensory neurons that are embedded with ligand gated olfactory …

Impact of neck muscle fatigue on upper limb sensorimotor integration
Neck muscles have a high density of sensory receptors which project to the central nervous system, and have important role in sensory motor integration (SMI). The cerebellum is important for SMI and it is known to undergo neuroplastic changes in response to performing a novel motor acquisition …

A Model of the Production of Spontaneous Otoacoustic Emissions in the Tokay Gecko
… active process originates in hair cells, the sensory receptors of the inner ear; by augmenting the energy contained in sound, it improves both the sensitivity and the frequency selectivity of hearing. Under certain conditions, the active process generates spontaneous oscillations, which then …

Perceptual organization and its influence upon attention
… not through brute strength or enhanced sensory receptors, but through our ability to understand the world around us. In order to make sense of the world around us we need to organize the information that our sensory systems receive. One of the most fundamental steps in this …

Experimental Measurements of Vestibular Hair Bundle Stiffness in the Red Ear Slider Turtle Utricle
… utricle. Within each of the vestibular organs, sensory receptors in the form of hair cells detect motion and send a message to the brain for interpretation. Hair cells found in different parts of the inner ear are structurally different and are mechanically specialized to perform different …

Hair Bundle Stiffness in the Turtle Utricle: Structural and Regional Variations
Vestibular hair cells are mechanotransducing sensory receptors in the vertebrate inner ear that detect movement and orientation of the head with respect to gravity. The morphologies of their ciliary bundles vary greatly for different species, endorgans, and within the same endorgan. Bundle …

Three types of sensory gating: exploring interrelationships, individual differences, and implications
… is selectively processed in the brain through sensory gating mechanisms. Filtering, habituation, and orienting are three types of sensory gating that have never been investigated together in the same study. Although it has been well established that sensory gating is abnormal in many clinical …

Modulation of synaptic transmission by TRP channels
The first sensory synapse is the site where sensory afferent fibers make synaptic connections with second order neurons. Somatic and craniofacial afferents terminate in spinal cord dorsal horn (SDH) and caudal spinal trigeminal nucleus (CSTN). Neurotransmitter release from first order nerve …

How does pulmonary exposure to particulate matter predispose the heart to increased injury after myocardial infarction?
… 9810 was also used to study the role of TRPV1 receptors in mediating the priming influence of pulmonary DEP to the myocardium since activation of sensory receptors have been reported to modify sympathetic output via feedback to the central nervous system (Widdicombe et al., 2001). …

Formation of Copper-Salivary Component Complexes and Its Effect on Sensory Perception
… components and copper is thought to influence sensory perception by affecting volatility of aroma compounds, de-lubricating salivary proteins, and by controlling solubility of copper. A recent study suggested that intensity of copper taste may be dependent on the amount of solubilized copper, …
