Definitions

1. Sensory input is an essential component of motor function and motor control.
2. Sensory input is processed by the brain to recognize danger, find food, identify potential mates, and perform more sophisticated functions.
3. Sensory input is processed by the brain to recognize danger, find food, and identify potential mates, among other goals.
4. Sensory input is when the body gathers information or data, by way of neurons, glia and synapses.
5. Sensory input is converted into electrical signals called nerve impulses that are transmitted to the brain.

Driving Inputs

1. The second order nucleus is defined by the fact that it receives scant direct sensory input; instead, its driving inputs are provided from cortical layer 5.

Specific Sensory Input

1. Activity of the cerebral cortex is dependent upon both specific sensory input and nonspecific activating impulses from the brain stem.

Learning

1. Watson stayed at the University of Chicago for several years doing research on the relationship between sensory input and learning and bird behavior.

Output

1. The olfactory bulb has one source of sensory input (axons from olfactory receptor neurons of the olfactory epithelium), and one output (mitral cell axons).

Brainstem

1. The brainstem is involved in sensory input and motor output.

Motor Cortex

1. In the precentral gyrus, the motor cortex doesn't receive much in the way of sensory input, so layer IV is indistinct.

Touch

1. These tracts carry sensory input, touch, vibration, and proprioception (position sense), up to the brain.

Opposite Side

1. In turn, each cerebral hemisphere supplies motor function to the opposite side of the body, the side from which it receives sensory input.

Cortex

1. Each type of sensory input has its own place on the cortex.

Parietal Lobes

1. The parietal lobes interpret sensory input from the rest of the body and control body movement.

Entorhinal Cortex

1. The strongest projection is from the lateral nucleus to the entorhinal cortex (ie, the cortical area from which the hippocampus receives most sensory input).

Taste

1. If information is equated to sensory input, then nutrition is not information but taste is.

Smell

1. Sensory input to the nervous system occurs through the senses, which are: vision, taste, smell, touch and hearing, also called the special senses.

Cns

1. Sensory input begins with sensors that react to stimuli in the form of energy that is transmitted into an action potential and sent to the CNS.
2. Sensory input from the PNS is processed by the CNS and responses are sent by the PNS from the CNS to the organs of the body.

Neurons

1. Neurons of the reticular formation receive specific sensory input from the skin, muscles, joints, and vestibular system which they then integrate.

Sensory Receptors

1. This sensory input uses sensors, also called sensory receptors.

Cerebellum

1. The cerebellum receives sensory input from the spinal cord, midbrain, and forebrain and a corollary discharge when a movement is made.

Input

1. Inputs: the amygdala must get sensory input, and it must be fairly highly processed input to recognize the elements of a scene that signal danger.
2. Processing my sensory input has mandated that I allow the input to form a gestalt.
3. Conflicting sensory input There are times that the sensory input that we receive from one of the sources conflicts with the input from the other sources.

Cerebral Cortex

1. The cerebral cortex is the "highest" level of the nervous system, easily imagined as the final recipient of sensory input and the source of motor commands.
2. Generally, a pain sensory input causes a reflex action long before the information reaches the cerebral cortex and the pain is consciously perceived.
3. For example, it receives sensory input (except smell) and sends to appropriate areas of the cerebral cortex.

Thalamus

1. At rest sensory input to the higher sensory areas of the cerebral cortex is gated through the thalamus.

Postcentral Gyrus

1. The postcentral gyrus receives sensory input, both superficial and deep, from the contralateral half of the body.

Brain

1. The brain combines visual cues with sensory input from the vestibular system to determine adjustments required to retain balance.
2. A. The components of the brain interact to receive sensory input, integrate and store the information, and transmit motor responses.
3. Parietal Lobe Found in the middle of the brain behind the central sulcus, the parietal lobe has two regions that respond to sensory input.

Sensory Input

1. All sensory input to the brain, except that of the sense of smell, connects to individual nuclei of the thalamus.
2. It receives sensory input from the spinal cord, motor input from the cortex and basal ganglia and position information from the vestibular system.
3. This is distinct from blindness, which is a lack of sensory input to the brain due to damage to the eye or optic nerve.
