🗑
show route from the spinal cord to the brain that carries most of the info. abt skin temp. and pain  
🗑
show route frm the spinal cord to the brain that carries signals frm skin, muscles, tendons, & joints  
🗑
Somatosensory area 1(S1)   show
🗑
Somatosensory area 2 (S2)   show
🗑
Somatotopic   show
🗑
Homunculus   show
🗑
show sensation perceived frm a physically amputated limb of the body  
🗑
show ability of neural circuits to undergo changes in function or organization as a result of previous activity  
🗑
show jellylike region of interconnecting neurons in the dorsal horn of the spinal cord  
🗑
show region @ the rear of the spinal cord that received input frm receptors in the skin  
🗑
show description of the system that transmits pain that incorporates modulating signals frm the brain  
🗑
Anterior cingulate cortex (ACC)   show
🗑
Prefrontal cortex (PFC)   show
🗑
show decreasing pain sensation during conscious experience  
🗑
Endogenous opiates   show
🗑
show increased on heightened response to a normally painful stimulus  
🗑
Two-point threshold   show
🗑
show knowledge of the world that is derived frm sensory receptors in the skin, muscles, tendons, & joints, usually involving active exploration  
🗑
Exploratory procedure   show
🗑
Tactile agnosia   show
🗑
show coordinate system used to define locations in space  
🗑
show center of reference frame used to represent locations relative to the body  
🗑
show the impression of our bodies in space  
🗑
Endogenous spatial attention; form of top-down control (knowledge-driven) of spatial attn   show
🗑
Exogenous spatial attention; form of bottom-up (stimulus-driven) spatial attn. in which attn. is reflexively directed toward the site @ which a stimulus has abruptly appeared   show
🗑
Tadoma   show
🗑
show synthetic world that may be experienced haptically by operation of an electromechanical device that delivers forces to the hand of the user  
🗑
Touch   show
🗑
show refer to mechanical interactions when talking about touch and encompassing perception of temp. changes (thermal sensation), itchiness, & internal sensations (body in space)  
🗑
show perceive signals frm objects that are far frm the body, but we must almost always be in direct contact w/an object to perceive it by touch  
🗑
show located in the skin  
🗑
How touch receptors function   show
🗑
show responds to bursts of APs, 1st when its preferred stimulus its preferred stimulus is applied & then again. Doesn’t respond during the steady state b/w stimulus onset & offset  
🗑
Slow-adapting receptors (SA 1&2)   show
🗑
show consists of a nerve fiber & an assoc. expanded ending. These receptors fall under the category of A-beta fibers: wide diameters that permit very fast neural conduction  
🗑
show located @ the junction of the epidermis & dermis; and is FA type 1  
🗑
show located @ the junction of the epidermis & dermis; and is SA type 1  
🗑
Pacinian corpuscle   show
🗑
show embedded in the dermis & subcutaneous tissue; & is SA type 2  
🗑
show sustained pressure, very low frequency (<~5Hz); texture perception. Also spatial deformation which is helpful in pattern/form detection  
🗑
FA 1   show
🗑
FA 2   show
🗑
SA 2   show
🗑
Thermoreceptors   show
🗑
Nocioreceptors   show
🗑
show (1) quick sharp burst of pain (2) throbbing sensation; reflect the onset of signals 1st frm A-delta fibers & then frm C-fibers  
🗑
Spinothalamic pathway   show
🗑
Dorsal column-medial lemniscal pathway (DCML)   show
🗑
show amputees often feel sensations in their phantoms arms & hands when their faces or remaining limbs are touched. Idiosyncrasy in homunculus  
🗑
Hand & arms areas of S1“invaded” by neurons carrying info. frm touch receptors in the face   show
🗑
show the ability to recognize objects through touch  
🗑
“Where”   show
🗑
show bottom-up pain signals frm nociceptors can be blocked via a feedback circuit located in dorsal horn. As gate neurons send excitatory signals sensory info. is allowed to go in but inhibitory signals frm the gate neurons cancel transmission to the brain  
🗑
show processes the raw sensory data frm S1 and S2 in such a way as to produce an emotional response  
🗑
Secondary pain affect   show
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
