  2. Proprioception - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proprioception

    Proprioception was then found to be involved in other tropisms and to be central also to the control of nutation. [79] The discovery of proprioception in plants has generated an interest in the popular science and generalist media. [80] [81] This is because this discovery questions a long-lasting a priori that we have on plants.

  3. Proprioception and motor control - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proprioception_and_Motor...

    Proprioception refers to the sensory information relayed from muscles, tendons, and skin that allows for the perception of the body in space. This feedback allows for more fine control of movement. In the brain, proprioceptive integration occurs in the somatosensory cortex, and motor commands are generated in the motor cortex.

  4. Sensory processing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sensory_processing

    Other sensory modalities exist, for example the vestibular sense (balance and the sense of movement) and proprioception (the sense of knowing one's position in space) Along with Time (The sense of knowing where one is in time or activities). It is important that the information of these different sensory modalities must be relatable.

    One of the most important of these senses is called proprioception, or the sense of position. It's defined as the conscious or unconscious awareness of joint position, and it refers to being able ...

  7. Sense of balance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sense_of_balance

    It is the area of integration between proprioceptive, and vestibular inputs, to aid in unconscious maintenance of balance and posture. The inferior olivary nucleus aids in complex motor tasks by encoding coordinating timing sensory information; this is decoded and acted upon in the cerebellum. [9] The cerebellar vermis has three main parts.

  8. Sensory nervous system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sensory_nervous_system

    Areas 1 and 2 receive most of their input from area 3. There are also pathways for proprioception (via the cerebellum), and motor control (via Brodmann area 4). See also: S2 Secondary somatosensory cortex. The human eye is the first element of a sensory system: in this case, vision, for the visual system.

  9. Spinocerebellar tracts - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spinocerebellar_tracts

    Proprioceptive information is taken to the spinal cord via central processes of dorsal root ganglia (first order neurons). These central processes travel through the posterior grey column where they synapse with second order neurons of Clarke's nucleus .
