  2. Sensory neuron - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sensory_neuron

    It is a simple device which uses a mirror in a box to create an illusion in which the sensory system perceives that it is seeing two hands instead of one, therefore allowing the sensory system to control the "phantom limb". By doing this, the sensory system can gradually get acclimated to the amputated limb, and thus alleviate this syndrome. [36]

    A sensory system is a part of the nervous system responsible for processing sensory information. A sensory system consists of sensory receptors, neural pathways, and parts of the brain involved in sensory perception.

  4. Sensory nervous system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sensory_nervous_system

    The sensory nervous system is a part of the nervous system responsible for processing sensory information. A sensory system consists of sensory neurons (including the sensory receptor cells), neural pathways , and parts of the brain involved in sensory perception and interoception .

  5. Sensory map - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sensory_map

    A sensory map is an area of the brain which responds to sensory stimulation, and are spatially organized according to some feature of the sensory stimulation. In some cases the sensory map is simply a topographic representation of a sensory surface such as the skin, cochlea, or retina. In other cases it represents other stimulus properties ...

    English: Complete neuron cell diagram. Neurons (also known as neurones and nerve cells) are electrically excitable cells in the nervous system that process and transmit information. In vertebrate animals, neurons are the core components of the brain, spinal cord and peripheral nerves.

  8. Primary sensory areas - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Primary_sensory_areas

    The primary sensory areas are the primary cortical regions of the five sensory systems in the brain (taste, olfaction, touch, hearing and vision).Except for the olfactory system, they receive sensory information from thalamic nerve projections.

  9. Topographic map (neuroanatomy) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Topographic_map_(neuroanatomy)

    In neuroanatomy, topographic map is the ordered projection of a sensory surface (like the retina or the skin) or an effector system (like the musculature) to one or more structures of the central nervous system. Topographic maps can be found in all sensory systems and in many motor systems.
