The present study examined age-related differences in multisensory integration and the role
of attention in age-related differences in multisensory integration. The sound-induced flash …

Auditory cortex (AI) shows age-related decreases in pre-synaptic markers for gamma-
aminobutyric acid (GABA) and degraded AI neuronal response properties. Previous studies …

Recently, Rousselet et al. reported a 1 ms/year delay in visual processing speed in a sample
of healthy aged 62 subjects (Frontiers in Psychology 2010, 1: 19). Here, we replicate this …

Previous research has shown age-related differences in discriminating motion at different
levels of contrast (Betts et al.,,,). A surprising result of this research is that older as compared …

Visual function in humans degrades during the early stage of senescence beginning from
middle 50s to 60s. To identify its underlying neural mechanisms, we investigated the aging …

Bitter taste reception is presumably associated with dietary selection, preventing animals
from ingesting potentially harmful compounds. Accordingly, carnivores, who encounter these …

Neurophysiological evidence has consistently shown that, compared to younger animals,
single neurons in aged mammalian visual cortex exhibit reduced selectivity to stimulus …

Psychophysical studies on human and non-human vertebrate species have shown that
visual contrast sensitivity function (CSF) peaks at a certain stimulus spatial frequency and …

Age-related declines in motion perception have been well documented. We investigated the
impact of age on electrophysiological correlates of motion perception, namely the P1 and N2 …

Chronic exposure to opiates leads to maladaptive changes in various functions of the
mammalian brain, including properties of neuronal response in the visual pathway. In the …
