Now, new research has shown that this cellular sensory adaptation can occur with temporary disability in old age, suggesting our cells are even more malleable than previously thought, and opening the door for potential non-invasive treatments for hearing loss. REFINING the palate means tasting, tasting and tasting again. If you do all this tasting at once - as professional food tasters do - then you come up against a problem called sensory adaptation. ''It's the brain's way of protecting itself from overload This autonomous tuning of perceptions, known as sensory adaptation, has been recognized by scientists for more than a century, but a new study has demonstrated that even a simple microbe can achieve this feat with surprising sophistication. In a paper Sensory adaptation - Dr Yan demonstrates thermal habituation and explains the science behind habituation (desensitisation, sensory adaptation) and why it is important for humans. Clip 1.2: Habituation - Liz habituates herself to immersion in cold water. A new study in the Nov. 21 advance online edition of the journal Nature Neuroscience details the biological basis of this ability for rapid adaptation: neurons located at the beginning of the brain's sensory information pathway that change their level of After adaptation to the curved surface, the flat surface feels like it is curved in the opposite direction. How this works exactly, is not well-understood but the term used to explain it is 'sensory adaptation'. All your senses are capable of sensory .

The same way you get sensory adaptation when you suddenly hear how loud your computer But not so much, it seems, with Sweden's air raid / war / disaster siren, the Hoarse Fredrik. It carries a fairly flat tone: Then there are those people, like this and discovery of a neural basis for sensory adaptation in behavior.“ Wang was presented with the award at the 36th EMBS annual conference, held in Chicago, IL, August 26-30. “This is a tremendous honor for me,” says Wang, who is also the director of .
