Humans and other animals have different strategies for extracting the pitch of sounds, potentially driven by the species-specific frequency selectivity of the ear.

MRGPRX4 is a bilirubin receptor that may be a therapeutic target for patients suffering from cholestatic itch.

Sodium-activated potassium ion currents encoded by the kcnt1 gene delay action potential firing in DRG neurons by activity preceding an action potential.

A pain-relaying ion channel on a hypersensitive population of sensory neurons can instead elicit sensations of itch in both fish and mice when directly activated, providing a novel model of itch transduction.

Electron microscopy on native membranes reveals the shape and potential function of protein machinery responsible for budding vesicles and viruses away from the cytoplasm.

A new spinal somatosensory preparation is described which enables fine control of sensory input and the ability to manipulate spinal interneurons while recording from spinal projection neurons.

Selective attention to one of two speakers consistently modulates the response of the human auditory brainstem to each speaker's pitch.
