Studying the development and mechanisms of sensory perception is challenging in organisms with complex neuronal networks. The worm Caenorhabditis elegans possesses a simple neuronal network of 302 neurons that includes 60 ciliated sensory neurons (CSNs) for detecting external sensory input. C. elegans is thus an excellent model in which to study sensory neuron development, function, and behavio...

objectives: all individuals need to have the ability of appropriate sensory processing for proper functioning in the environment and participation in daily activities. moreover, behavioral functions can be affected by sensory processing problems. this study aimed to determine the relationship between behavioral problems and sensory processing in 7 to 10 years old children with attention deficit...

background : sensory impairment is a common condition that exerts negative effects on health-related quality of life (hrqol) in the elderly. this study aimed to determine the relationship between sensory impairment and hrqol and identify sensory-specific differences in the hrqol of elderly. methods : this study used data from the korean national health and nutrition examination survey v (2010-2...

The functional architecture of sensory brain regions reflects an ingenious biological solution to the competing demands of a continually changing sensory environment. While they are malleable, they have the constancy necessary to support a stable sensory percept. How does the functional organization of sensory brain regions contend with these antithetical demands? Here we describe the functiona...

objective: diabetes mellitus is one of the most common endocrine diseases with micro-vascular complications and is a common cause of polyneuropathy. we studied the effect of enalapril on electrophysiologic criteria and clinical symptoms of patients with type ii diabetes and sensory neuropathy. materials and methods: a double blind study was conducted on 45 patients with type ii diabetes and neu...

Balance impairment is common in people with multiple sclerosis (PwMS) and frequently impacts quality of life by decreasing mobility and increasing the risk of falling. However, there are only scarce data examining the contribution of specific neurological functional systems on balance measures in MS. Therefore, the primary aim of our study was to examine the differences in posturography paramet...
