In this Video Lecture, Professor Fink explains a number of topics related to sensory physiology and sensation, including dendritic specialization, the Receptor Potential, the affect of increasing the magnitude of the stimulus, Sensory Adaptation in different types of sensory neurons, the Classification of Sensory Neurons (into exteroceptors, proprioceptors and interoceptors), the typical neural pathway for sensory information (1st Order, 2nd Order & 3rd Order Neurons), the Organization of the Cerebral Cortex (into the Primary Sensory Area, Primary Visual Area, Primary Auditory Area, the Primary Motor Area, Broca's Speech Center & Wernicke's Language Comprehension Area) and the Law of Projection. Reference is made to somatic & visceral noxiceptors (nociceptors), the 5 categories of gustatory (taste) receptors (including umami), the role of the Thalamus, Central Sulcus (fissure of Rolando), Pre-Central Gyrus, Post-Central Gyrus. Temporal Lobe and Occipital Lobe of the Cerebral Cortex.
