Full Description
This book is an overview of primary sensory maps of vertebrates, characterized by continuous and discrete properties. The eight primary sensory maps of vertebrates have unique features and use distinct molecular cues, cell cycle exit, and activity combinations during development, regeneration, and plasticity. As an introduction and overview, the book provides a short overview for all eight sensory senses and presents through evolution and gene regulatory networks, the molecular cues needed for sensory processing. Independent contributions are included for olfactory, vision, trigeminal, taste, vestibular, auditory, lateral line, and electroreception.
Contents
Introduction and overview; from the molecular basis of a given sense and diversified the various senses to expand and contracts in different species.
Olfactory development and evolution: from sensing to cortical information processing.
Vision and retina information processing: going from opsins to the visual cortex.
Trigeminal and related spinal projections: how to cross or not the multisensory projections.
Taste buds explained: from taste sending to taste processing in the forbrain.
Vestibular processing: from mechanosensation to the cortex underlies a broad input.
Auditory as derived 'vestibular' sensory input: keeping the same molecular transduction in a different way to hear.
Lateral line input to 'almost' all vertebrates is a common organization with different distinct connections. Electroreception: a novel hair cell derived sense of some but not all vertebrates.
Integrated perspective of common and differences across variable sensory receptors and their central and distinct forebrain inputs
