The carotid body detects circulating tumor necrosis factor-alpha to activate a sympathetic anti-inflammatory reflex
(2022-05-01)
Recent evidence has suggested that the carotid bodies might act as immunological sensors, detecting pro-inflammatory mediators and signalling to the central nervous system, which, in turn, orchestrates autonomic responses. ...
Emotion and Predictive Processing: Emotions as perceptions?Emotion and Predictive Processing: Emotions as perceptions?
(2017)
In this Thesis, I systematize, clarify, and expand the current theory of emotion based on the principles of predictive processing—the interoceptive inference view of emotion—so as to show the following: (1) as it stands, ...
The centrifugal visual system of a palaeognathous bird, the Chilean Tinamou (Nothoprocta perdicaria)
(Wiley, 2017-08)
The avian centrifugal visual system, which projects from the brain to the retina, has been intensively studied in several Neognathous birds that have a distinct isthmo-optic nucleus (ION). However, birds of the order ...
Disentangling interoception: Insights from focal strokes affecting the perception of external and internal milieus
(Frontiers Media S.A., 2015-05)
Interoception is the moment-to-moment sensing of the physiological condition of the body. The multimodal sources of interoception can be classified into two different streams of afferents: an internal pathway of signals ...
Short-term plasticity and modulation of synaptic transmission at mammalian inhibitory cholinergic olivocochlear synapses
(Frontiers, 2014-12-02)
The organ of Corti, the mammalian sensory epithelium of the inner ear, has two types of mechanoreceptor cells, inner hair cells (IHCs) and outer hair cells (OHCs). In this sensory epithelium, vibrations produced by sound ...
Synaptic contributions to cochlear outer hair cell Ca2+ dynamics
(Society for Neuroscience, 2021-08)
For normal cochlear function, outer hair cells (OHCs) require a precise control of intracellular Ca21 levels. In the absence of regulatory elements such as proteinaceous buffers or extrusion pumps, OHCs degenerate, leading ...
mGluR1 enhances efferent inhibition of inner hair cells in the developing rat cochlea
(Wiley Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2017-06-01)
Key points: Spontaneous activity of the sensory inner hair cells shapes maturation of the developing ascending (afferent) auditory system before hearing begins. Just before the onset of hearing, descending (efferent) input ...
