In the search for a way to measure different forms of a condition called sensory processing disorder, neuroscientists are ...

Male mosquitoes detect flying females using antennal hearing organs sensitive to nanoscale mechanical displacements and that harbor motile mechanosensory neurons. The mechanisms supporting neuronal ...

New research reveals a distinct brain activity signature in children who become overwhelmed by sensory input such as noise, ...

For individuals with sensory sensitivity, the threshold for perceiving stimuli may be lower than usual, or their ability to adapt to repeated stimuli may be impaired. They may start avoiding ...

Supported by a $2 million R01 grant from the National Institutes of Health, the Auerbach Lab at the Beckman Institute for Advanced Science and Technology will examine how different genes associated ...

Have you ever been told that you are “too sensitive?” If so, you’re not alone. Sensitivity implies a certain heightened reaction to external stimuli: experiences, noise, chatter, others’ emotional ...

Jack, now 12, has sensory processing disorder (SPD). It’s a contentious diagnosis. Some doctors will argue that it doesn’t really exist, while those who recognize it estimate that sensory issues ...

“I think there is something wrong with his [her] hearing,” is a comment I often hear from parents of children on the spectrum, pertaining to the atypical auditory processing they notice in their loved ...
