Few reliable tools exist for detecting neural signals of awareness in people who appear unresponsive, says Lorina Naci, a neuroscientist at the University of Western Ontario in London, Canada, and lead author of the new study.

The short - term dependence on the proximity of a caregiver for physiological regulation, and protection is just finally being recognized scientifically as being extremely important and beneficial (see Barak et al. 2011 Should Neonates Sleep Alone, downloadable from this website) Mosko et al., 1998; McKenna et al 2007), and helps to explain why infants should avoid sleeping alone outside the sensory range by which a caregiver and infant detect each others sensory signals, cues, or stimuli, all of which facilitate and represent interactions that augment neurological connections and provide the foundation for the development of cognition and intellectual development, and the proliferation of neural networks that support these systems.

The neural signals they detect might someday control a bionic arm.

Some researchers speculate that fatty acids help maintain fluidity in the cellular membranes, allowing neural receptors to better detect incoming signals.

Neural signal patterns can change when the electrodes move even slightly; a neuron whose signal was not previously detected can end up joining the recorded ensemble while another might become excluded.

«Almost nothing is known» about the molecular and cellular mechanism by which water is detected in the mouth and throat, and the neural pathway by which that signal is transmitted to the brain, says Zachary Knight, a neuroscientist at the University of California, San Francisco.

Healthy hair cells can detect the magnified sounds from a hearing aid and convert them into neural signals.

Therefore, we considered that the Acks signals detected at each sampling time mainly reflect neural activity involved in the following phases of the bee ball formation; 0 min: normal phase before presentation of the hornet; 30 min: early phase of bee ball formation, such as the recognition of the hornet and / or formation of the bee ball; 60 min: late phase of the bee ball formation, such as the maintenance of the bee ball.

Thus, we concluded that Acks could be utilized as a marker of neural activity that occurred 30 to 60 min before in the brains of Japanese honeybees, although we could not detect the spotted signal in the antennal lobes (ALs, primary olfactory center), suggesting that Acks, like kakusei, is not useful for detecting neural activity in the ALs (data not shown).

We expected that Acks signals detected at 0 min (in bee ball formation experiment) or in control bees (in heat - exposure and IAA - exposure experiments) would reflect background level neural activity and the neural activity in the workers forming a bee ball, heat - exposed or IAA - exposed workers could be considerably increased.

Amphimedon possesses homologues of bilaterian proteins involved in nervous system development (for example, elav - and musashi - like RNA - binding proteins, neural transcription factors), pre - and post-synaptic organization (for example, Discs large) 42, endogenous and exogenous signalling (for example, G - protein - coupled receptors (GPCRs)-RRB-, and neuroendocrine secretion, although bilaterian peptide hormones are not detected (Supplementary Note 8.9).
