Sensory biology is a critical area within neuroscience, exploring how organisms respond to environmental stimuli such as temperature, pain, and mechanical forces. David Julius and Ardem Patapoutian have made landmark contributions to this field by identifying crucial receptors. Julius's discovery of transient receptor potential (TRP) channels, including transient receptor potential cation channel subfamily V member 1 (TRPV1), which detects heat and pain, revolutionized sensory biology and opened new paths for pain management.

- Hansen's disease, caused by Mycobacterium leprae, leads to peripheral neuropathy, affecting nerve function and sensation in patients.
- A study conducted on 30 leprosy patients in rural India measured the nerve conduction velocities (NCV) for sensory and motor nerves, revealing significant impairments in conduction velocity and increased latency.
- The study suggests that nerve conduction studies are an effective, non-invasive method for early diagnosis and treatment of leprosy, recommending further research with larger, multicentric samples.
Background: It is increasingly being realized that many of today's diseases are due to "oxidative stress" that results from an imbalance between formation and neutralization of free radicals.
