- Why are the neurons in the earlier stages of the sensory pathways necessary for perception?arrow_forwardUnilateral Cerebral strokes can cause deficits in motor control, somatic sensation and vision. However, they do not cause deficits in hearing. The explanation for this is: Auditory information does not reach the cortex Auditory information only goes to one hemisphere. Auditory information goes to both hemispheres How are the outer segments of photoreceptors positioned? between bipolar cells and horizontal cells in the outermost layer of the retina in the ganglion cell layer farthest from the pigment epitheliumarrow_forwardThe sensory systems are complex and have the amazing ability to respond to different types of environmental stimuli. What is one aspect of the sensory systems we have looked at (gustatory, olfactory, or visual) that you found particularly interesting and would like to know more about?arrow_forward

What are these sensors and how do they work?arrow_forward
- Which type of sensory pathway conducts proprioceptiveinformation?arrow_forwardIn what way does the overall magnitude of a stimulus affect the just-noticeable difference in the perception of that stimulus?arrow_forwardIn the process of sensory coding Recruitment of additional neurons occurs with a weak stimulus in order to make the stimulus stronger. The larger the receptive field of a sensory receptor, the greater the expected acuity and the more accurate the two-point discrimination. Lateral inhibition of neighboring receptors resulting in a relative reduction of action potentials in the neighboring second order neurons would be expected to increase acuity. A receptor potential that remains suprathreshold into the absolute refractory period will result in additional action potentials.arrow_forward
