  2. Proprioception - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proprioception

    Proprioceptive signals are transmitted to the central nervous system, where they are integrated with information from other sensory systems, such as the visual system and the vestibular system, to create an overall representation of body position, movement, and acceleration. In many animals, sensory feedback from proprioceptors is essential for ...

  3. Proprioception and motor control - Wikipedia

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

    In addition to functional impairments, proprioceptive deficits are linked to compensatory adaptations in the central nervous system. In the study on people with amputations mentioned previously, those with a lower degree of proprioception showed stronger connectivity between their visual and motor cortices, which is interpreted as a greater ...

  4. Somatosensory system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Somatosensory_system

    The somatosensory system, or somatic sensory system is a subset of the sensory nervous system. It has two subdivisions, one for the detection of mechanosensory information related to touch, and the other for the nociception detection of pain and temperature. [ 1 ]

  5. Spatial disorientation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spatial_disorientation

    The auditory system, vestibular system (within the inner ear), and proprioceptive system (sensory receptors located in the skin, muscles, tendons and joints) collectively work to coordinate movement with balance, and can also create illusory nonvisual sensations, resulting in spatial disorientation in the absence of strong visual cues.

    Parents are turning to specialists for picky-eating, proprioception-system correcting, and allergens. In doing so, we're fueling the child-perfecting industry. I'm modeling imperfect behavior for ...

  7. Spinocerebellar tracts - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spinocerebellar_tracts

    The ventral spinocerebellar tract (or anterior spinocerebellar tract) conveys proprioceptive information from the body to the cerebellum. Historically, it has also been known as Gowers' column (or fasciculus or tract), after Sir William Richard Gowers. It is part of the somatosensory system and runs in parallel with the dorsal spinocerebellar ...

  8. Dorsal column–medial lemniscus pathway - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dorsal_column–medial...

    The dorsal column–medial lemniscus pathway (DCML) (also known as the posterior column-medial lemniscus pathway (PCML) is the major sensory pathway of the central nervous system that conveys sensations of fine touch, vibration, two-point discrimination, and proprioception (body position) from the skin and joints.

  9. Sensory processing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sensory_processing

    Sensory processing is the process that organizes and distinguishes sensation (sensory information) from one's own body and the environment, thus making it possible to use the body effectively within the environment.
