Synapse loss correlates with cognitive decline in aging and most neurological pathologies. Sensory perception changes often represent subtle dysfunctions that precede the onset of a neurodegenerative disease. However, a cause-effect relationship between synapse loss and sensory perception deficits is difficult to prove and quantify due to functional and structural adaptation of neural systems. ...

OBJECTIVE The aim of our study was to evaluate sensory integration and activities of daily living in children with developmental coordination disorder SUBJECTS AND METHODS 37 cases with developmental coordination disorder and 35 healthy age-matched peers were included in this study. Ayres Southern California Sensory Integration Test was used for evaluating the sensory integration and Function...

Tactile perception is obtained by coordinated motor-sensory processes. We studied the processes underlying the perception of object location in freely moving rats. We trained rats to identify the relative location of two vertical poles placed in front of them and measured at high resolution the motor and sensory variables (19 and 2 variables, respectively) associated with this whiskers-based pe...

The ability to adapt dynamic environments requires tracking multiple signals with variable sensory salience and fluctuating behavioral relevance. This complex process integrative crosstalk between cognitive brain circuits. Functional interactions cortical thalamic regions are now considered essential for both perception cognition but a clear account of the functional link circuits is currently ...

Theories of perception seek to explain how sensory data are processed to identify previously experienced objects, but they usually do not consider the decisions and effort that goes into acquiring the sensory data. Identification of objects according to their tactile properties requires active exploratory movements. The sensory data thereby obtained depend on the details of those movements, whi...
