Neural Mechanisms of Decision-Making: Modulation of the Feeding Neural Network by Nitric Oxide and Serotonin in the Predatory Marine Snail Pleurobranchaea Californica
… increasing the activity and reactivity to sensory stimulation. These effects are paralleled in intact animals whereby injection of 5-HT or its precursor 5-HTP lowers feeding sensory thresholds sufficient to elicit biting. Hunger state is thought to increase feeding arousal, observed as …

Creating tactile feedback with intelligent electrical stimulation to compensate for sensory impairment.
… a novel calibration method for the detection of sensory thresholds and device parameters. A software for magnitude estimation and force and pressure feedback based on the centre of pressure (COP) movement was programmed and a psychophysical transfer function involving sensory thresholds and …

Understanding Mediolateral Stability During Gait in Persons with Early-Stage Multiple Sclerosis
… data. Levels of fatigue, muscle weakness, sensory function, physical activity, falls frequency, and mood were also assessed. Results: All three participants with MS showed slight changes in M-L stability during gait as compared to healthy controls. This was evidenced in differing ways …

Characterization of Metallic Flavor in Drinking Water: An Interdisciplinary Exploration through Sensory Science, Medicine, Health, and the Environment
… flavor in drinking water through applications of sensory science, medicine, health, and the environment. Humans interact with their environment through the five senses and are often exposed to contaminants through multiple routes; oral intake of trace metal contaminants through drinking water is a …

Multiple Myeloma and Its Treatment Alter Peripheral Nervous System Structure and Function
… often provokes the development of small fiber, sensory, distal neuropathy in patients. MM is caused by malignancy of plasma cells, which indirectly compromises multiple organ systems. Therefore, the contribution of underlying disease versus chemotherapeutic treatment on the development of …

Calcium Chloride-Fortified Beverages: Threshold, Consumer Acceptability and Calcium Bioavailability
… objectives of this study were to determine the sensory threshold of calcium chloride in water and flavored water, design an acceptable calcium-fortified beverage, and determine the bioavailability of calcium from calcium chloride-fortified drinking water in vitamin D-deficient rats. Mineral …

Shoulder pain after stroke: prevalence, contributing factors and consequences in daily life
… 25 without PSSP) and 11 healthy controls, somatosensory abnormalities were assessed with thermal and mechanical thresholds using the Quantitative Sensory Testing (QST) method. No significant difference in QST measurements were found between the groups with and without PSSP, but both stroke groups …

Measuring Physiological Responses to Sensation in Typical Adults
<p><strong>Objective:</strong> Sensory processing issues can have a large negative impact on the ability to participate in daily occupations such as ADLs, access to work, school and leisure environments, and social interactions (Dunn, 2001). The evidence documenting sensory processing issues in …
