Summary Introduction

To review:

The type of information provided by sensory coding regarding the stimulus.

Introduction:

Receptors detect sensory information like touch and transmit to the spinal cord or brainstem. This information is then sent to specific areas of the brain so that it can be interpreted. This transmission of information depends upon (1) location of sensory information and (2) the characteristic of the stimulus, which was detected.
