Using functional magnetic resonance imaging, a team of UCLA researchers has shown for the first time that children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) who are overly sensitive to sensory stimuli have ...

Over the course of their lives, animals form associations between sensory stimuli and predicted threats or rewards. These associations can, in turn, shape the behaviors of animals, prompting them to ...

Various areas of the brain process our sensory experiences. How the areas of the cerebral cortex communicate with each other and process sensory information has long puzzled neuroscientists. Exploring ...

The type and intensity of stimuli control the activity of nerve cells that release the neurotransmitter dopamine, report scientists. Regardless of whether we are sitting in a loud aeroplane or walking ...

Researchers determined that migraineurs exhibit unique responses to tactile stimuli compared with controls, according to a study published in Cephalalgia. Researchers determined that migraineurs ...

Whether primary sensory cortices are essentially multisensory or whether they respond to only one sense is an emerging debate in neuroscience. Here we use a multivariate pattern analysis of functional ...

Bilateral stimulation is the use of visual, auditory, or tactile external stimuli occurring in a rhythmic side-to-side ...

A research conducted by the INc-UAB shows that the same perinatal brain injury caused by hypoxia and ischemia have differentiated effects on each gender, but can be improved through tactile and ...

This is an AP-Illinois Exchange story offered by The (Bloomington) Pantagraph. CHENOA, Ill. (AP) — The calming smell of lavender filled the room as Rebecca Perkins brought her mother, Catherine ...

Bilateral stimulation is the use of visual, auditory, or tactile external stimuli occurring in a rhythmic side-to-side pattern. It is a core element of eye movement desensitization and reprocessing ...

Pueblo's C.A.R.E. Inc. has opened a "sensory room" for intellectually and developmentally disabled adults, which offers much ...

Regardless of whether we are sitting in a loud aeroplane or walking through a quiet forest clearing, how humans perceive their environment depends on the stimuli. This, in turn, affects our behaviour ...
