Neurophysiology: Sensing and categorizing
نویسندگان
چکیده
Objects differ along many stimulus dimensions, but observers typically group them into fewer 'categories' according to their potential use or behavioral relevance. New experiments in awake, behaving monkeys open a window onto the process of stimulus categorization within the central nervous system.

متن کاملDose-dependent effect of Hypericum perforatum extract on motor imbalance following intrastriatal injection of 6-hydroxydopamine in the rat
Background and Objective: Parkinson's disease (PD) is a neurodegenerative disease with selective damage of mesencephalic dopaminergic neurons. Due to the protective, anti-inflammatory, and antioxidant effect of Hypericum perforatum (HP), this study was undertaken to assess dose-dependent effect of HP hydroalcoholic extract on motor imbalance following intrastriatal injection of 6-hydroxydopamin...
متن کاملMicrosensor Integration Into Systems - on - Chip Micromachining
| Sensing systems-on-chip (SSoCs), combining micromachined sensing structures and microelectronic building blocks on a single chip, are reviewed. While single-chip pressure and inertial sensing systems have been commercially available for more than a decade, the recent expansion of SSoC into new application areas, ranging from chemical and biochemical sensing to atomic force microscopy, demonst...
متن کاملApproaches to the study of haptic sensing.
This review surveys results from a new approach to the problem of haptic sensing, in which subjects use primarily proximal arm movements to explore the shapes of virtual objects. These shapes are generated using a robotically controlled manipulandum. We begin by summarizing distortions of simple geometric properties (such as the length and orientation of lines) in the haptic perception of space...
متن کاملEffects of oleic acid on distinct populations of neurons in the hypothalamic arcuate nucleus are dependent on extracellular glucose levels.
Pharmacological manipulation of fatty acid metabolism in the hypothalamic arcuate nucleus (ARC) alters energy balance and glucose homeostasis. Thus, we tested the hypotheses that distinctive populations of ARC neurons are oleic acid (OA) sensors that exhibit a glucose dependency, independent of whether some of these OA sensors are also glucose-sensing neurons. We used patch-clamp recordings to ...
