Sensory systems include the parts of the nervous system responsible for processing sensory information, including the visual system, auditory system, olfactory system, somatosensory system ...

For each modality, some examples of sensory systems that use that modality are provided. Akesson, S. & Backman, J. Orientation in pied flycatchers: The relative importance of magnetic and visual ...

Our multidisciplinary and innovative approach to neuroscience research allows us to explore how sensory inputs are detected and processed by the nervous system in health and disease. The sensory ...

The noise in a classroom, bright lighting, a rough-textured piece of clothing, or food with an unusual texture can make everyday life exhausting for someone with sensory sensitivity. Researchers at ...

"They rely on these specialised environmental sensory systems to make decisions vital for their survival." "The GCS builds on ...

Sensory diets are programs of sensory activities children can perform during the day to give them an appropriate amount of sensory input. Some experts think this can help improve attention and ...

When the sensory receptors in the nervous system malfunction, as they’re theorized to do in SPD, common stimuli like lights, noises, and textures may be perceived as too bright, too loud ...

From the earliest days of parenting, we’re told that bedtime should be calm and quiet in order to promote healthy sleep ...

This is what will help us feel safe and reduce our stress the most. The impact of sensory overload on our stress level, and conversely, how chronic stress itself can result in overstimulation of our ...

The study provides new insights into how movement alters the brain's sensory decision-making process. A research team at the Institute for Basic Science (IBS) has uncovered a fundamental principle ...
