Pharyngeal Chemosensitivity in Patients with Obstructive Sleep Apnea and Healthy Subjects 20 Aug 2013 | 07:11 pm
Signs of pharyngeal neurodegeneration have been detected in patients with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). Along with this neurodegeneration, a decreased pharyngeal sensitivity to mechanical stimulation...
Ventromedial Prefrontal Cortex Response to Concentrated Sucrose Reflects Liking Rather Than Sweet Quality Coding 20 Aug 2013 | 07:11 pm
The perception of the pleasantness of sweet tastes varies widely across individuals. Here, we exploit these differences to isolate brain response to sweet-taste pleasantness while controlling for inte...
Increased Odor Detection Speed in Highly Anxious Healthy Adults 20 Aug 2013 | 07:11 pm
Anxiety can either impair or enhance performance depending on the context. Increased sensitivity to threat seems to be an important feature of sensory processing in anxiety since anxious individuals t...
Camphor Activates and Sensitizes Transient Receptor Potential Melastatin 8 (TRPM8) to Cooling and Icilin 20 Aug 2013 | 07:11 pm
Camphor is known to potentiate both heat and cold sensations. Although the sensitization to heat could be explained by the activation of heat-sensitive transient receptor potential (TRP) channels TRPV...
Localization of Odors Can Be Learned 20 Aug 2013 | 07:11 pm
Chemicals selectively stimulating the olfactory nerve typically cannot be localized in a lateralization task. Purpose of this study was to investigate whether the ability of subjects to localize an ol...
