  2. Proprioception - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proprioception

    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. In some cases this has led to a shift between proprioception and self-awareness or self-consciousness. There is no scientific ground ...

  3. Kinaesthetics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kinaesthetics

    When the kinesthetic system has learned a motor skill proficiently, it will be able to work even when one's vision is limited. [5] The perception of continuous movement (kinesthesia) is largely unconscious. A conscious proprioception is achieved through increased awareness. Kinaesthetics involves the teaching and personal development of such ...

  4. Somatosensory system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Somatosensory_system

    BA7 integrates visual and proprioceptive info to locate objects in space. [16] [17] The insular cortex (insula) plays a role in the sense of bodily-ownership, bodily self-awareness, and perception. Insula also plays a role in conveying info about sensual touch, pain, temperature, itch, and local oxygen status.

  5. 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.

  6. Stimulus modality - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stimulus_modality

    Tactual perception gives information regarding cutaneous stimuli (pressure, vibration, and temperature), kinaesthetic stimuli (limb movement), and proprioceptive stimuli (position of the body). [18] There are varying degrees of tactual sensitivity and thresholds, both between individuals and between different time periods in an individual's ...

  7. 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.

  8. Vestibular system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vestibular_system

    Human vestibular system of the semicircular canals in the inner ear. The vestibular system, in vertebrates, is a sensory system that creates the sense of balance and spatial orientation for the purpose of coordinating movement with balance.

  9. Balance (ability) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Balance_(ability)

    It is thought that muscle fatigue leads to a decreased ability to contract with the correct amount of force or accuracy. As a result, proprioception and kinesthetic feedback from joints are altered so that conscious joint awareness may be negatively effected. [3]
