DOI: 10.1002/cne.24896
Abstract: “Diversity” is an apt descriptor of the research career of Jack Pettigrew as it ranged from the study of trees, to clinical conditions, to sensory neuroscience. Within sensory neuroscience, he was fascinated by the evolution… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/dvdy.523
Abstract: Sensory neurons of the head are the ones that transmit the information about the external world to our brain for its processing. Axons from cranial sensory neurons sense different chemoattractant and chemorepulsive molecules during the… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s00332-017-9365-6
Abstract: Aquatic organisms such as copepods exhibit remarkable responses to changes in ambient flows, especially shear gradients, when foraging, mating and escaping. To accomplish these tasks, the sensory system of the organism must decode the local… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s00709-020-01594-x
Abstract: Plants are not only sensitive to exogenous anaesthetics, but they also produce multitudes of endogenous substances, especially when stressed, that often have anaesthetic and anelgesic properties when applied to both humans and animals. Moreover, plants… read more here.

DOI: 10.1021/acssynbio.9b00500
Abstract: The ability of proteins to interconvert unrelated biochemical inputs and outputs underlays most of energy and information processing in biology. A common conversion mechanism involves a conformational change of a protein receptor in response to… read more here.

DOI: 10.3389/fevo.2018.00095
Abstract: Sensory input to the central nervous system is the primary means by which animals respond to variation in their physical and biological environments. It is well established that key threats such as habitat destruction, the… read more here.

DOI: 10.3389/fncir.2022.913480
Abstract: Somatosensory, taste, vestibular, and auditory information is first processed in the brainstem. From the brainstem, the respective information is relayed to specific regions within the cortex, where these inputs are further processed and integrated with… read more here.

DOI: 10.3390/polym14061232
Abstract: Biology is characterized by smooth, elastic, and nonplanar surfaces; as a consequence, soft electronics that enable interfacing with nonplanar surfaces allow applications that could not be achieved with the rigid and integrated circuits that exist… read more here.
