  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. 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.

  4. Sensory processing disorder - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sensory_processing_disorder

    Somatodyspraxia: poor motor planning (related to poor information coming from the tactile and proprioceptive systems) Auditory-language problems Both visual perceptual and auditory language deficits were thought to possess a strong cognitive component and a weak relationship to underlying sensory processing deficits, so they are not considered ...

  5. 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.

  6. 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.

  7. Golgi tendon organ - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Golgi_tendon_organ

    The Golgi tendon organ (GTO) (also called Golgi organ, tendon organ, neurotendinous organ or neurotendinous spindle) is a proprioceptor – a type of sensory receptor that senses changes in muscle tension.

  8. 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.

  9. Brown-Séquard syndrome - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brown-Séquard_syndrome

    Brown-Séquard syndrome (also known as Brown-Séquard's hemiplegia, Brown-Séquard's paralysis, hemiparaplegic syndrome, hemiplegia et hemiparaplegia spinalis, or spinal hemiparaplegia) is caused by damage to one half of the spinal cord, i.e. hemisection of the spinal cord resulting in paralysis and loss of proprioception on the same (or ipsilateral) side as the injury or lesion, and loss of ...
