  • This suggests that the neural response properties of the sensilla are rather generic, and that functional specialization arises primarily from how the sensilla are embedded in the cuticle. (wikipedia.org)
  • Or only a subset of long-range projection cells in frontal lobes that project to the sensory cortices in the back? (scholarpedia.org)
  • This is thanks to a deep neural network that takes into account a latent auditory space, and can be trained on just a few samples of an individual voice, like a YouTube video or Zoom recording. (nyu.edu)
  • Motor and sensory dysfunction were periodically assessed using open field locomotion scoring, thermal/tactile pain/escape thresholds and myogenic motor evoked potentials. (biomedcentral.com)
  • A robust model of sensorimotor integration is the pitch perturbation response, in which speakers respond rapidly to shifts of the pitch in their auditory feedback. (nih.gov)
  • Cortical feedback to the thalamus is, in turn, the anatomically dominant input to relay cells, yet its influence on thalamic processing has been difficult to interpret. (mit.edu)
  • The epidermis is derived primarily from surface ectoderm but is colonized by pigment-containing melanocytes of neural crest origin, antigen-processing Langerhans cells of bone marrow origin, and pressure-sensing Merkel cells of neural crest origin. (medscape.com)
  • Melanocytes, derived from neural crest cells, primarily function to produce a pigment, melanin, which absorbs radiant energy from the sun and protects the skin from the harmful effects of UV radiation. (medscape.com)
  • Despite ample behavioral evidence of atypical facial emotion processing in individuals with autism (IwA), the neural underpinnings of such behavioral heterogeneities remain unclear. (biorxiv.org)
  • For an understanding of complex sensory processing, detailed concepts of the corticothalamic interplay need to be established. (mit.edu)
  • each nearbAI core is an ultra-low power neural processing unit (NPU) and comes with an optimizer / neural network compiler. (easics.com)
  • Separating out the complex web of neural regions controlling precise muscle movement in the mouth, jaw and tongue with the regions processing the auditory feedback of hearing your own voice is a complex problem, and one that has to be overcome for the next generation of speech-producing protheses. (nyu.edu)
  • Our results reveal a prominent role for feedback and lateral interactions in motion processing and demonstrate that motion-dependent behaviors rely on contributions from nearly all lamina neuron classes. (janelia.org)
  • That is, trains of spikes in Purkinje cells (or their absence) will not induce a sensory percept although they may ultimately affect some behaviors (such as eye movements ). (scholarpedia.org)
