متن کاملGood Vibrations
How and where the brain forms associations between sensation and action are crucial questions in the field of cognitive neuroscience. In this issue of Neuron, add to an already impressive body of work elucidating the neural mechanisms responsible for forming categorical decisions about vibrotactile stimuli that guide behavior. Here they show that single neurons in premotor cortex represent, rem...
متن کاملNot so good vibrations
Pliny the Elder was one of the first to record it 2,000 years ago: termites are noisy eaters. Their loud chewing generates acoustic emissions that have been proposed to be a method of detecting cryptic attack. But a team from the Commonwealth worker termites might be able to detect vibration/acoustic signals generated by their foraging and use these signals to determine the size of the piece of...
متن کاملPrestin and the good vibrations
In a recent paper published in the Biochemical Journal, Lolli et al. presented evidence that the C-terminal STAS (sulfate transporter and anti-sigma factor antagonist) domain of the motor protein prestin possesses an anion-binding site. This discovery might shed light on an aspect of the function of this mysterious and fascinating protein that is crucial for the human hearing system.
متن کاملGood vibrations and strong bones?
THE HUMAN PHYSIOLOGY of bone perfusion has been neglected. The issue may be explained in part by technical difficulties in assessing bone blood flow in vivo. Currently available techniques may be rather expensive, and the access of interested scientists to these techniques may be limited. Another possible explanation for the neglect is the fact that the integration between cardiovascular and bo...
