Memory problems have long been considered the primary hallmark of dementia, but a team of researchers is now challenging this view. They argue that changes in sensory perception – from vision to ...

Sensory processing abnormalities are consistently observed in autism spectrum disorder (ASD), attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), and ...

Emerging science shows that sensory dysfunction can increase the risk of dementia, and the new research presented at AAIC 2019 further demonstrates the impact of multiple co-occurring sensory ...

A diagnosis is not based on one single test, but rather a combination of physical examinations, such as the carpal compression, Phalen, and Tinel tests, to assess sensory and motor functions. Imaging ...

The loss of sensory function in the lower lip, caused by the sacrifice or damage of the inferior alveolar nerve (IAN) during mandibulectomy, may no longer be an irreversible condition, according to a ...

A new study is using robotics to expose a hidden barrier in stroke recovery: the loss of the body’s internal sense of movement. This sensory ability, called proprioception, is rarely tested in clinics ...

An interdisciplinary, multi-institution team is the first to use a bidirectional brain-computer interface to control the gait of a walking exoskeleton. The system enables patients suffering spinal ...

A spinal cord injury damages the lines of communication between the body and brain, impeding the signals that drive movement and sensation. Injured motor and sensory neurons in the central nervous ...
