The somatosensory cortex is a region of the mammalian brain known to play a crucial role in the processing of sensory information, including tactile sensations, temperature and pain. While this brain ...

Sensory processing disorder (SPD) and autism often occur together. However, they can also occur independently and are separate conditions. SPD involves difficulty detecting, modulating, and ...

Sensory processing disorder—also known as SPD or sensory integration disorder—is a term describing a collection of challenges that occur when the senses fail to respond properly to the outside world.

Our body movements profoundly impact how our brain processes sensory information. Historically, it was believed that the brain's primary motor cortex played a key role in modulating sensory ...

Eating disorders are complicated mental illnesses characterized by a disruption in a person’s eating patterns, leading to mental and physical complications. Sensory processing disorder (SPD) is a ...

The somatosensory cortex is a brain region known to play a role in the detection of tactile information, changes in temperature, and pain sensations. Some recent studies found that this crucial brain ...

Sensory hypersensitivity in mice with the Grin2b gene mutation found in patients is related to hyperactivity of the anterior cingulate cortex (ACC) and hyperconnectivity between the ACC and other ...

Scientists have discovered that the brain’s sensory systems play a much larger role in speech learning than previously believed.

Under propofol general anesthesia, sensory input still reaches the brain, but signals do not spread. A new study suggests consciousness requires cortical regions to all be 'on the same page.' General ...

Neuroscientists at the Florey Institute of Neuroscience and Mental Health (Australia) have discovered a neural circuit ...
