Scientists and engineers have modeled a hidden mechanism in the inner ear that helps mammals ... of potassium ions through low-voltage-activated ion channels from pre-synaptic hair cells to ...

Piezos are bona fide mechanically activated ion channels that have a leading role ... In vertebrates, dedicated cells such as inner ear hair cells and somatosensory neurons are specialized to ...

In the central nervous system (CNS), 5-HT3 receptors are involved in emesis, cognition, and anxiety ... ion channels. They are preferably permeable to Na+, K+ and Ca2+ and are activated by ...

Burning frankincense (resin from the Boswellia plant) activates poorly understood ion channels ... by current anxiety and depression drugs. Specifically, incensole acetate activated a protein ...

Even though stress doesn’t directly cause vertigo, it can contribute to dysfunction of the part of your inner ear that controls ... these hormones may disrupt ion channels in your nerves and ...

Mechanosensation is the ability to detect dynamic mechanical stimuli like pressure, stretch, and shear stress ... of distinct mechanically-activated ion channels. Subsequent studies by them ...

"Over the past 10 to 15 years, Ardem Patapoutian's lab and others have described ion channels, fast-signaling proteins, which are activated by shifts in temperature and are required for ...

Nearly a decade ago, the era of optogenetics was ushered in with the development of channelrhodopsins, light-activated ion channels that can, with the flick of a switch, instantaneously turn on ...

The model simulates the voltage response of the calyx to mechanical and electrical stimuli, tracking the flow of potassium ions through low-voltage-activated ion channels from pre-synaptic hair ...
