objective neuromuscular characteristics in down syndrome result in generalized muscular hypotonia, developmental delays and sensory integration deficits. the aim of this study was to compare the effects of simultaneous sensory stimulations and current occupational therapy approaches on motor functions development of infants with down syndrome. materials & methods eighteen infants with down synd...

given the significance of relativism in molding our worldview and uncovering the nature of truth, this study using the newly-developed concept of emotioncy, attempted to introduce sensory relativism as a new perspective based on which senses can relativize our understanding of the world. to espouse the theory, 24 individuals were interviewed on their experiences of phlebotomy. the results were ...

Abstract This research is the first to produce induced pluripotent stem cell-derived inner ear sensory neurons in Neurog1 +/? heterozygote mouse using blastocyst complementation. Additionally, this approach corrected non-sensory deficits associated with heterozygosity, indicating that complementation specific endogenous function. work validates use of as a tool create novel insight into functio...

This chapter reviews background material underpinning sensory science and sensory evaluation methodologies. Basic and historical psychophysical methods are reviewed as well as the anatomy, physiology, and function of the chemical senses. The chapter concludes with a discussion of multi-modal sensory interactions. There is no conception in man’s mind which hath not at first, totally or in parts,...

That disorders of cutaneous sensation are common in diabetes mellitus can be substantiated by quantitative cutaneous sensory testing. Cutaneous sensory disturbances are not clearly related to clinical factors such as the type, treatment, or duration of diabetes, or ocular complications. Diabetics can be distinguished from nondiabetics on quantitative examination of skin sensation. Juvenile diab...

The crystal structure of sensory rhodopsin II from Natronobacterium pharaonis was recently solved at 2.1 A resolution from lipidic cubic phase-grown crystals. A critical analysis of previous structure-function studies is possible within the framework of the high-resolution structure of this photoreceptor. Based on the structure, a molecular understanding emerges of the efficiency and selectivit...

The study examined whether atypical sensory processing (ASP) deteriorate executive function (EFs), anxiety and quality of life (QoL) children with ADHD. Participants were 28 boys ADHD; 31 ADHD + ASP; 56 typical development. Parents completed the Short Sensory Profile (SSP); BRIEF; RCMAS (anxiety) PedsQoL. Boys ASP had lowest EFs, highest QoL. predicted lower social QoL; Anxiety emotional reduce...

objectives: the aim of present study was evaluation of saccule function in cochlear implant candidates with severe to profound sensory neural hearing loss before and after cochlear implantation methods: in this study 35 cochlear implant (ci) candidates with bilateral severe to profound sensory neural hearing loss before and about 30 days after cochlear implant and 20 normal-hearing cases as a c...

Development of the nervous system requires remarkable changes in cell structure that are dependent upon the cytoskeleton. The importance of specific components of the neuronal cytoskeleton, such as microtubules and neurofilaments, to neuronal function and development has been well established. Recently, increasing focus has been put on understanding the functional role of the actin cytoskeleton...
