In Miller's nosology "sensory integration dysfunction" was renamed into "Sensory processing disorder" to facilitate coordinated research work with other fields such as neurology since "the use of the term sensory integration often applies to a neurophysiologic cellular process rather than a behavioral response to sensory input as connoted by ...
Another type of seizure, called a sensory Jacksonian seizure involves an abnormal, localizable, cutaneous sensation but does not have apparent stimulus. This sensation may progress along a limb or to adjacent cutaneous body areas, reflecting abnormal neuronal firing in the postcentral gyrus where an epileptic discharge is propagated.
Symptoms of conversion disorder usually occur suddenly. Conversion disorder is typically seen in people aged 10 to 35, [8] and affects between 0.011% and 0.5% of the general population. [9] Conversion disorder can present with motor or sensory symptoms including any of the following: Motor symptoms or deficits: Impaired coordination or balance
When people with fibromyalgia are subjected to intense stimuli, they experience sensory overload in the form of pain. It is theorized that abnormal activity of the left dorsolateral prefrontal cortex and reduced production of or reception to serotonin are partially responsible for the sensation of pain in response to intense stimuli. [29]
Hypoesthesia is one of the negative sensory symptoms associated with cutaneous sensory disorder (CSD). In this condition, patients have abnormal disagreeable skin sensations that can be due to increased nervous system activity (stinging, itching or burning) or decreased nervous system activity (numbness or hypoesthesia). [6]
Dysesthesia is an unpleasant, abnormal sense of touch. Its etymology comes from the Greek word "dys," meaning "bad," and "aesthesis," which means "sensation" (abnormal sensation). It often presents as pain [1] but may also present as an inappropriate, but not discomforting, sensation.
Hereditary sensory and autonomic neuropathy type 6 (HSAN6), also known as familial dysautonomia with contractures, [5] is a severe autosomal recessive disorder characterized by neonatal hypotonia, respiratory and feeding difficulties, lack of psychomotor development, and autonomic abnormalities including labile cardiovascular function, lack of ...
Hyperesthesia is a condition that involves an abnormal increase in sensitivity to stimuli of the senses.Stimuli of the senses can include sound that one hears, foods that one tastes, textures that one feels, and so forth.
