Activity in these circuits is both sensory and motor in nature, and sensory influences on neural activity can change dramatically across behavioural conditions.
Several studies show that sensory cues influence consumer decision making processes.
These models can account for a large number of experimental findings about how manipulations of early sensory experience influence the final structure of the maps [42], [56], [59], [60], [66], [67], [107], [110] [120].
Then, to verify whether 22-kHz USVs (and not other sensory factors) influence the partner's behavior, lesion and reversible inactivation techniques were applied on the auditory thalamus of the receiver rat to interrupt the primary auditory stream.
For these reasons, we have avoided to indicate quantitative features in our model and have restricted the model to only reflect the logic by which sensory stimuli influence male courtship behavior.
To examine whether olfactory sensory axons influence the OB neuron dendritic outgrowth, we co-cultured the OB primordial explants and OE explants from E12 mouse embryos by stacking the OB explants on top of the OE explants.

Physiological studies are consistent with the notion that cervical sensory afferents influence autonomic function.
By comparing similarities and differences in the ways sensory feedback influences voice in humans and bats, we may shed light on the basic architecture of the mammalian vocal motor system and perhaps be able to better distinguish those features of human vocal control that evolved uniquely in support of speech and language.
However, studies designed to examine how sensory input influences the recovery from sensorimotor functions following brain injury would benefit from experimental protocols contrasting the effects of naturalistic EE with those of a standard housing environment (SE).
