Sensory Physiology
1. Sensory transduction takes place in a series of steps, starting with stimuli from the external or internal environment and ending with neural processing in the central nervous system. 2. The structure of sensory organs optimizes their response to the preferred types of stimuli. 3. A stimulus gives rise to a generator potential, which, in turn, causes action potentials to be produced in the a...
متن کاملSENSORY PHYSIOLOGY Membrane cholesterol modulates cochlear electromechanics
Changing the concentration of cholesterol in the plasma membrane of isolated outer hair cells modulates electromotility and prestin-associated charge movement, suggesting that a similar manipulation would alter cochlear mechanics. We examined cochlear function before and after depletion of membrane cholesterol with methyl-βcyclodextrin (MβCD) in an excised guinea pig temporal bone preparation. ...

متن کاملForty years in capsaicin research for sensory pharmacology and physiology.
Capsaicin, the pungent ingredient of chilli peppers has become a "hot" topic in neuroscience with yearly publications over half thousand papers. It is outlined in this survey how this exciting Hungarian research field emerged from almost complete ignorance. From the initial observation of the phenomenon of "capsaicin desensitization", a long-lasting chemoanalgesia and impairment in thermoregula...
متن کامل[46i ] THE SENSORY PHYSIOLOGY OF THE HARVEST MITE TROMBICULA
The ectoparasitic habit of the hexapod larva of Trombicula autumnalis is the cause of much discomfort to residents of infected localities in the British Isles, between late June and the beginning of October. The mite is a member of the Trombiculid group which includes species known to transmit disease in some parts of the world. The unfed larvae are found either upon the soil or climbing upon l...
