  • How Does the Balance System Work?
    How Does the Balance System Work? Author: Shannon L.G. Hoffman, PT, DPt Sara MacDowell PT, DPT Fact Sheet Many systems work together to help you keep your balance. The goal is to keep your body and vision stable Peripheral Sensory Systems: 1) Vision: Your vision helps you see where your head and body are in rela- tion to the world around you. 2) Somatosensory/Proprioception: We use the feeling from our feet against the ground as well as special sensors in our joints to know where our feet and legs are positioned. It also tells how your head is oriented to your neck and shoulders. Produced by 3) Vestibular system: Balance organs in the inner ear tell the brain about the movements and position of your head. There are 3 canals in each ear that sense when you move your head and help keep your vision clear. Central Processing: Information from these 3 systems is sent to the brain for processing. The brain stem also gets information from other parts of the brain called the cerebellum and cerebral cortex, mostly about past experiences that have A Special Interest affected your sense of balance. Your brain can control balance by using Group of the information that is most important for a certain situation. For example, in the dark, when you can’t use your vision, your brain will use more information from your legs and feet and your inner ear. If you are walking on a sandy beach during the day, you can’t trust your feet on the ground and your brain will use your eyes and inner ear more.

  • Signaling by Sensory Receptors
    Signaling by Sensory Receptors David Julius1 and Jeremy Nathans2 1Department of Physiology, University of California School of Medicine, San Francisco, California 94158 2Department of Molecular Biology and Genetics, Johns Hopkins Medical School, Baltimore, Maryland 21205 Correspondence: [email protected] and [email protected] SUMMARY Sensory systems detect small molecules, mechanical perturbations, or radiation via the activa- tion of receptor proteins and downstream signaling cascades in specialized sensory cells. In vertebrates, the two principal categories of sensory receptors are ion channels, which mediate mechanosensation, thermosensation, and acid and salt taste; and G-protein-coupled recep- tors (GPCRs), which mediate vision, olfaction, and sweet, bitter, and umami tastes. GPCR- based signaling in rods and cones illustrates the fundamental principles of rapid activation and inactivation, signal amplification, and gain control. Channel-based sensory systems illus- trate the integration of diverse modulatory signals at the receptor, as seen in the thermosen- sory/pain system, and the rapid response kinetics that are possible with direct mechanical gating of a channel. Comparisons of sensory receptor gene sequences reveal numerous exam- ples in which gene duplication and sequence divergence have created novel sensory specific- ities. This is the evolutionary basis for the observed diversity in temperature- and ligand- dependent gating among thermosensory channels, spectral tuning among visual pigments, and odorant binding among olfactory receptors. The coding of complex external stimuli by a limited number of sensory receptor types has led to the evolution of modality-specific and species-specific patterns of retention or loss of sensory information, a filtering operation that selectively emphasizes features in the stimulus that enhance survival in a particular ecological niche.

Ambrose Date Submitted: 30 October 2000 Contract Number: NAG 9-867 13-1 ABSTRACT As a participant of the year 2000 NASA Summer Faculty Fellowship Program, I worked with the engineers of the Dexterous Robotics Laboratory at NASA Johnson Space Center on the Robonaut project. The Robonaut is an articulated torso with two dexterous arms, left and right five-fingered hands, and a head with cameras mounted on an articulated neck. This advanced space robot, now dnven only teleoperatively using VR gloves, sensors and helmets, is to be upgraded to a thinking system that can find, in- teract with and assist humans autonomously, allowing the Crew to work with Robonaut as a (junior) member of their team. Thus, the work performed this summer was toward the goal of enabling Robonaut to operate autonomously as an intelligent assistant to as- tronauts. Our underlying hypothesis is that a robot can deveZop intelligence if it learns a set of basic behaviors ([.e., reflexes - actions tightly coupled to sensing) and through experi- ence learns how to sequence these to solve problems or to accomplish higher-level tasks.

Animal Sentience 2016.034: Shriver Commentary on Key on Fish Pain Cortex necessary for pain — but not in sense that matters Commentary on Key on Fish Pain Adam Shriver Center for Neuroscience and Society University of Pennsylvania Abstract: Certain cortical regions are necessary for pain in humans in the sense that, at particular times, they play a direct role in pain. However, it is not true that they are necessary in the more important sense that pain is never possible in humans without them. There are additional details from human lesion studies concerning functional plasticity that undermine Key’s (2016) interpretation. Moreover, no one has yet identified any specific behaviors that mammalian cortical pain regions make possible that are absent in fish. Keywords: pain, sentience, neuroethics, cortical regions, affect, fish, mammals, vertebrates, consciousness, brain plasticity Adam Shriver [email protected] is a fellow at the Center for Neuroscience and Society at the University of Pennsylvania.

CHAPTER 2 Sensory change following motor learning { k { { Andrew A. G. Mattar , Sazzad M. Nasir , Mohammad Darainy , and { } David J. Ostry , ,* { Department of Psychology, McGill University, Montréal, Québec, Canada { Shahed University, Tehran, Iran } Haskins Laboratories, New Haven, Connecticut, USA k The Roxelyn and Richard Pepper Department of Communication Sciences and Disorders, Northwestern University, Evanston, Illinois, USA Abstract: Here we describe two studies linking perceptual change with motor learning. In the first, we document persistent changes in somatosensory perception that occur following force field learning. Subjects learned to control a robotic device that applied forces to the hand during arm movements. This led to a change in the sensed position of the limb that lasted at least 24 h. Control experiments revealed that the sensory change depended on motor learning. In the second study, we describe changes in the perception of speech sounds that occur following speech motor learning. Subjects adapted control of speech movements to compensate for loads applied to the jaw by a robot. Perception of speech sounds was measured before and after motor learning. Adapted subjects showed a consistent shift in perception. In contrast, no consistent shift was seen in control subjects and subjects that did not adapt to the load. These studies suggest that motor learning changes both sensory and motor function. Keywords: motor learning; sensory plasticity; arm movements; proprioception; speech motor control; auditory perception.
