Sensory Transduction: Confusing the Senses
Two new studies in the fruit fly Drosophila demonstrate unexpected molecular, and mechanistic, overlaps between the different senses. In the centre stand two long-established families of sensory proteins--rhodopsins and TRP channels.
متن کاملHomeostatic enhancement of sensory transduction.
Our sense of hearing boasts exquisite sensitivity, precise frequency discrimination, and a broad dynamic range. Experiments and modeling imply, however, that the auditory system achieves this performance for only a narrow range of parameter values. Small changes in these values could compromise hair cells' ability to detect stimuli. We propose that, rather than exerting tight control over param...
متن کاملTransduction and adaptation in sensory receptor cells.
Sensory transduction shares common features in widely different sensory modalities. The purpose of this article is to examine the similarities and differences in the underlying mechanisms of transduction in the sensory receptor cells for vision, olfaction, and hearing. One of the major differences between the systems relates to the nature of the stimulus. In both the visual and olfactory system...
متن کاملSensory transduction of the ischemic myocardium.
REFLEX CONTROL OF cardiac function is dependent on the transduction of the sensory milieu in cardiac tissues and within major intrathoracic and cervical blood vessels. Transduction can involve mechanosensitive and/or chemosensitive inputs. Reflexes for the control of autonomic efferent outflows to the heart so engendered include the peripheral and central aspects of the cardiac nervous system. ...
متن کاملTransduction mechanisms in airway sensory nerves.
The induction of action potentials in airway sensory nerves relies on events leading to the opening of cation channels in the nerve terminal membrane and subsequent membrane depolarization. If the membrane depolarization is of sufficient rate and amplitude, action potential initiation will occur. The action potentials are then conducted to the central nervous system, leading to the initiation o...
