Neurotrophins Cause a New Sensation

and trkC null mutant mice display loss of large diameter parvalbumin-positive neurons, loss of spinal projections from muscle afferents, and severe movement abnormalities. These features are consistent with the hypothesis that TrkC neurons convey proprioceptive information (Ernfors et An important organizational principle of the developing al., 1994b; Fariñ as et al., 1994; Klein et al., 1994)....

Thermoscore: A New-type Musical Score with Temperature Sensation

In this paper, we propose Thermoscore, a musical score form that dynamically alters the temperature of the instrument/play er interface. We developed the first version of the Thermoscore display by lining Peltier devices on piano keys. The system is controlled by MIDI notes-on messages from an MIDI sequencer, so that a composer can design songs that are sequences of temperature for each piano k...

Worm sensation!

Mechanosensation plays a pivotal role in many aspects of pain pathology, yet the mammalian molecular transduction apparatus responsible for this sensory modality remains unknown. In January's edition of Nature Neuroscience, O'Hagan, Chalfie and Goodman [1] have provided direct electrophysiological evidence that somatic mechanotransduction in C. elegans is mediated by a complex of proteins previ...
