    Study Notes

    Doctrine of Specific Nerve Energies

    • The nature of perception is defined by the pathway over which the sensory information is carried
    • Labeled Line Principle: separate neural channels carry sensory information from specific receptors to the specific area in the brain

    Sensory Cortex

    • The type of sensation felt is determined by the specific area in the sensory cortex to which their specific afferent fibers terminate
    • Even if a nerve fiber for pain is stimulated by heat or pressure, only pain will be experienced by the individual

    Neuroanatomical Localization

    • Interruption of the pathway for a particular sensation due to damage to any of its components would lead to a deficit for that particular sensation
    • A patient who manifests a particular sensory deficit in a particular modality at a specific body location may have a lesion involving any of the structures of the pathway from the receptor up to the sensory cortex

    Somatic Sensation Modalities and Receptors

    • Also known as the sense of touch
    • Composed of many different sensory modalities, each having its own proper stimulus and set of receptors that respond to such stimuli

    Pain Modalities

    • Transmitted by various fibers:
      • First pain: initial sharp, acute, or prickling pain
      • Second pain: slow, dull/burning, aching

    Thermal Sensation

    • Changes in temperature:
      • Warmth: increase in temperature
      • Cold: decrease in temperature

    Pathways for General Somatic Sensation

    • From the body:
      • Anterolateral (Spinothalamic) Tract System
      • Dorsal Column (Medial Lemniscal) System
    • From the face region:
      • Dorsal Trigeminothalamic Tract
      • Ventral Trigeminothalamic Tract
    • Indirect/consensual blink reflex anatomy
    • Afferent arm of this pathway is the same as the direct corneal blink reflex
    • Injury or a lesion at a particular part at the reflex arc will manifest with failure to elicit one or both reflexes on either eye
