Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: At present, less than 30% of researchers worldwide are women. Long-standing biases and gender stereotypes are discouraging girls and women from pursuing a career in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) research. Science and gender equality are, however, essential to ensure sustainable development as highlighted by UNESCO. Although underrepresented, and often unacknowledged, female researchers have been crucial to scientific advances. In order to change traditional mindsets, gender equality must be promoted, stereotypes defeated, and girls and women should be encouraged to pursue STEM careers. Therefore, the Sensory Neuroscience section is proud to shed a light on great female researchers and provide them with a platform to showcase their work and role in open science. This editorial initiative of particular relevance, led by Dr. Monica Gori, together with Dr. Elena Nava, Dr. Alessia Tonelli, and Dr. Maria Bianca Amadeo highlights advances in the field of sensory neuroscience to further aid our empirical and theoretical understanding of human sensation and perception.

Book excerpt: Ironically, the organ with the greatest reason to differ between the sexes, the brain, is often viewed as the most androgynous of all. Are there differences? Almost by convention, male animals are used in laboratory experiments in neuroscience. Even in clinical drug trials in humans, females are often excluded from the early phases of testing becau

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The term Interception refers to information that is sent by the nervous system from the body to the brain. Despite its importance in the control of visceral organ function, emotional-motivational processes, and in psychosomatic disorders, the topic has not received as much attention as central functions of the nervous system. This book provides the first review of the field and will be of interest to scientists in neurobiology, psychology, and brain imaging, to individuals in related clinical fields such as psychiatry, neurology, cardiology, gastroenterology, and clinical psychology, and to their students and trainees.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Highly Sensitive Brain is the first handbook to cover the science, measurement, and clinical discussion of sensory processing sensitivity (SPS), a trait associated with enhanced responsivity, awareness, depth-of-processing and attunement to the environment and other individuals. Grounded in theoretical models of high sensitivity, this volume discusses the assessment of SPS in children and adults, as well as its health and social outcomes. This edition also synthesizes up-to-date research on the biological mechanisms associated with high sensitivity, such as its neural and genetic basis. It also discusses clinical issues related to SPS and seemingly-related disorders such as misophonia, a hyper-sensitivity to specific sounds. In addition, to practical assessment of SPS embedded throughout this volume is discussion of the biological basis of SPS, exploring why this trait exists and persists in humansand other species. The Highly Sensitive Brain is a useful handbook and may be of special interest to clinicians, physicians, health-care workers, educators, and researchers. Presents a neurobiological perspective of sensory processing sensitivity (SPS) Provides assessment criteria and measurement tools for highly sensitive children and adults Discusses the health and social outcomes of being highly sensitive in children and adults Examines clinical issues related to high sensitivity Offers practical applications and a future vision for integrating high sensitivity in our society

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In a recent book Arthur Koestler describes very cynically the superfluity of scientific meetings. He lists the various gatherings that are going to take place in one brief summer season in the Kon gresshaus of a small Swiss village, ending the long list with three interdisciplinary symposia, titles of which contain the three words "Environment", "Pollution", and "Future" in three different permu tations. By the same token, Koestler could list endlessly meetings on sensory physiology and behaviour or their synonyms, which have taken place allover the world on the national or international level in recent years. The organizing committee of the Oholo conferences was very well aware of this situation when the topic for the 19th Conference was selected. However this field is relatively new in Israel - only in the last decade were several teams established in this country to carry out combined studies on sensory physiology and behaviour. They attracted ever-increasing numbers of students of zoology, phy siology, medicine and psychology. The committee thought that the time was ripe to bring the Israeli students and scientists together with noted investigators from allover the world, to discuss and analyse the state of the art. The Conference dealt with processing of information obtained through the various senses: visual, auditory, tactile, as well as the olfactory and gastatory senses. More complex behavioural patterns were also analysed.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For women, understanding how the brain works during the key stages of life - in utero, childhood, puberty and adolescence, pregnancy and motherhood, menopause and old age - is essential to their health. Dr Sarah McKay is a neuroscientist who knows everything worth knowing about women's brains, and shares it in this fascinating, essential book. This is not a book about the differences between male and female brains, nor a book using neuroscience to explain gender-specific behaviours, the 'battle of the sexes' or 'Mars-Venus' stereotypes. This is a book about what happens inside the brains and bodies of women as they move through the phases of life, and the unique - and often misunderstood - effects of female biology and hormones. Dr McKay give insights into brain development during infancy, childhood and the teenage years (including the onset of puberty) and also takes a look at mental health as well as the ageing brain. The book weaves together findings from the research lab, case studies and interviews with neuroscientists and other researchers working in the disciplines of neuroendocrinology, brain development, brain health and ageing. This comprehensive guide explores the brain during significant life stages, including: In utero Childhood Puberty The Menstrual Cycle The Teenage Brain Depression and Anxiety Pregnancy and Motherhood Menopause The Ageing Brain

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Science and Art of Sensory Processing Sensitivity provides an up-to-date and novel scientific perspective on the biologically based Sensory Processing Sensitivity (SPS) trait— which is associated with enhanced awareness, depth of cognitive processing, and heightened responsivity to the environment and other individuals. This second volume by B.P. Acevedo, following “The Highly Sensitive Brain,” takes a scientific perspective on its exploration of SPS, but adds to the existing body of literature on high sensitivity by including an enhanced discussion on the proposed mechanisms linking it with depression, anxiety, and burnout. In addition, this second volume explores SPS’ relationship to other relevant personality traits, such as the Big Five, creativity, and sensation seeking; and sheds light on how their varying combinations give rise to different outcomes for highly sensitive persons (HSPs). A unique contribution of this volume is its detailed examination of the role of culture, gender, biology, aging, and the environment (including the workplace) on the expression (or repression) of high sensitivity. Also, unlike previous books, this volume takes a broad perspective on outcomes related to being highly sensitive to shine a light on the non-trivial issue plaguing many HSPs: diminished quality of life, happiness, and well-being. As such, a major contribution of the second volume on the science of SPS, is its extensive description of scientifically-based techniques that might improve the quality of life for those with high SPS. Thus, this volume may appeal to a wide audience, including both HSPs and those in their social network (friends, partners, physicians, parents, educators, and clinicians) who wish to better understand SPS, those with the trait, and how to enhance well-being among the highly sensitive. • Describes the mechanisms and neurobiology underlying sensory processing sensitivity • Distinguishes SPS from seemingly related disorders including depression, burn-out, and neuroticism, and proposes solutions • Uniquely explores variations in SPS and its association with different combinations of personality traits (extraversion, sensation-seeking, creativity, openness, and neuroticism), with related outcomes • Describes techniques based in recent scientific advances to improve quality of life for individuals with SPS • Features implications of SPS in the workforce, education, and personal relationships; and explores the impact of gender, culture, and aging on the expression of SPS

Book excerpt: The principal goal of the Handbook of Behavioral Neurobiology is a systematic, critical, and timely exposition of those aspects of neuroscience that have direct and immediate bearing on overt behavior. In this first volume, subtitled "Sensory Integration," the subject matter has been subdivided and the authors selected with this particular goal in mind. Although the early chapters (on the phylogeny and ontogeny of sensory systems, and on the common properties of sensory systems) are somewhat too abstract to permit many direct behavioral inferences, the focus on behavior has been maintained there too as closely as is now possible. A behavioral orientation is most obvious in the remaining chapters, which layout for each sensory modality in turn what is now known about structure-behavior relationships. The handbook is primarily intended to serve as a ready reference for two types of readers: first, practicing neuroscientists looking for a concise and authori tative treatment of developments outside of their particular specialities; and second, students of one or another branch of neuroscience who need an overview of the persistent questions and current problems surrounding the relation of the perceptual systems to behavior. The requirements imposed by the decision to address these particular audiences are reflected in the scope and style of the chapters as well as in their content.

Book excerpt: We experience our environment in a unique way through our senses. Some people thrive in a busy environment with lots going on and many people involved. They like everything brighter, louder, hotter, faster and find these inputs enjoyable and stimulating. Others avoid a crowded, noisy environment and will escape to ordered tranquillity whenever they can. They prefer everything softer, milder, slower and quickly feel overwhelmed and irritated by too much fuss and flutter. Sensory intelligence explains in clear layman's terms how this works to help you understand why you and others respond to sensory input the way you do. It then tells you how to modulate your senses to adapt to your environment and other people, or change your environment to fit your sensory preferences. It will help you to function more effectively and give you greater understanding and adaptability within your relationships, both at home and at work. ";Annemarie Lombard is bridging the gap between what professionals and researchers know about sensation and what the public would benefit from knowing ... When parents, partners, friends and co-workers understand each other and why they are reacting the way they do, it is easier to make adjustments ..."; Winnie Dunn (PhD OTR FAOTA), Professor & Chair Department of Occupational Therapy Education, University of Kansas Medical Center.

This book was released on 2011-03-21 with total page 369 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Eye-opening…memorable…Rosenblum's enthusiasm is contagious and his prose accessible." —Kirkus Reviews In this revealing romp through the mysteries of human perception, University of California psychologist Lawrence D. Rosenblum explores the astonishing abilities of the five senses—skills of which most of us are unaware. Drawing on groundbreaking insights into the brain's plasticity and integrative powers, Rosenblum examines how our brains use the subtlest information to perceive the world. A blind person, for example, can "see" through bat-like echolocation, wine connoisseurs can actually taste the vintage of an obscure wine, and pheromones can signal a lover's compatibility. Bringing us into the world of a blind detective, a sound engineer, a former supermodel, and other unforgettable characters, Rosenblum not only illuminates the science behind our sensory abilities but also demonstrates how awareness of these abilities can enhance their power.
