Somatosensation
Sensory info from body Cutaneous senses
exteroceptors touch / pain
Kinesthesia interoceptors body position & movement ~

Somatosensory cortex
S1 - Postcentral Gyrus Somatotopic Organization
topographic representation of body Distorted Homunculus
disproportionate amount of cortex for body parts
high sensitivity: large cortical area ~
![Page 4: Sensorimotor Control of Behavior: Somatosensation Lecture 8](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032702/56649cd75503460f9499e9b5/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Somatosensory Cortex

Kinesthesia
![Page 7: Sensorimotor Control of Behavior: Somatosensation Lecture 8](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032702/56649cd75503460f9499e9b5/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Kinesthesia
Body Position & Movement proprioception
Joint information Pacinian corpuscles & Ruffini endings
Muscle & tendon information changes in tension
Golgi tendon organ
muscle spindle fibers ~
![Page 8: Sensorimotor Control of Behavior: Somatosensation Lecture 8](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032702/56649cd75503460f9499e9b5/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Cutaneous Receptors
Stretching of the skin Limited role in proprioception
Ruffini Endings slow adapting population of neurons responding
simultaneously ~

Cutaneous Receptors
Role depends on location Anesthetize skin assess ability to detect passive
movement Knee: no affect on proprioception Mouth, hands, & feet
proprioception significantly reduced ~
![Page 10: Sensorimotor Control of Behavior: Somatosensation Lecture 8](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032702/56649cd75503460f9499e9b5/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Muscle Receptors
Major role in proprioception Stretch receptors
detect changes in tension 2 types of receptors
Muscle spindles & Golgi tendon organs differences in threshold & location ~
![Page 11: Sensorimotor Control of Behavior: Somatosensation Lecture 8](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032702/56649cd75503460f9499e9b5/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Muscle length detectors Parallel with extrafusal fibers Low threshold
Monosynaptic stretch reflex Postural adjustments Muscle tonus
Sensory neuron ---> alpha motor neurons
monosynaptic excitation
disynaptic inhibition ~
Muscle-Spindle Receptors

Golgi Tendon Organ
Gauges muscle tension high threshold
Stretch receptor safety mechanism controlled muscle contraction ~

GTO: Function
Inhibits muscle contraction Control of motor acts
slow contraction as force increases e.g., holding an egg
breaks if too much force Autogenic inhibition
safety mechanism too much tension ---> damage ~

The Orienting Senses

Orientation: The Vestibular System
Position & motion of body in space critical for adaptive interaction largely unnoticed except unusual conditions
motion sickness: nausea, dizziness Maintenance of balance & posture
coordinating body position with other sensory information ~
![Page 18: Sensorimotor Control of Behavior: Somatosensation Lecture 8](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032702/56649cd75503460f9499e9b5/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Receptors for Orientation
Inner ear Gravity detectors
plane of reference Mechanoreceptors Vestibular Organs
otocysts• saccule• utricle
semicircular canals ~
![Page 19: Sensorimotor Control of Behavior: Somatosensation Lecture 8](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032702/56649cd75503460f9499e9b5/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Otocysts
Liquid-filled “ear sacs” lined with hair cells contain otoliths
“ear stones : direction of acceleration
saccule: vertical movement utricle: horizontal movement ~

Semicircular Canals
Rotary acceleration direction & extent of circular movement
any direction 3 fluid-filled canals
right angles to each other 1 for each major plane
Movement causes fluid to circulate displaces cupula ~

Posterior Parietal Cortex - PPC
Constructs spatial coordinates for behavior
Apraxia inability to purposefully organize
movements Left parietal apraxia
bilateral inability to perform requested movements ~
