Ever sat at the dinner table and watched your child refuse even to touch a food just because it “feels weird”? You’re not the ...

In the search for a way to measure different forms of a condition called sensory processing disorder, neuroscientists are ...

New research reveals a distinct brain activity signature in children who become overwhelmed by sensory input such as noise, ...

A study published in Nature provides insight into how the brain processes sensory information from the internal organs. Researchers at Harvard Medical School used high-resolution imaging to identify ...

A UCSF study using fMRI revealed distinct brain network activity in children with sensory over-responsivity. These children ...

Humans have long wondered when and how we begin to form thoughts. Are we born with a pre-configured brain, or do thought ...

New research using human brain organoids shows that early neural activity follows structured, time-based patterns long before sensory experience begins.

Burst firing — the intermittent discharge of rapid action-potential sequences — is a prominent feature of many sensory neurons. Its functional role is not fully understood, in spite of the ...

Every day, we constantly absorb information through our sensory organs, which the brain then needs to process correctly. The information initially reaches the thalamus and then travels to the cerebral ...
