| sensory nerve | <anatomy, nerve> An afferent nerve conveying impulses that are processed by the central nervous system so as to become part of the organism's perception of self and its environment. (05 Mar 2000) |
|---|---|
| sensory neuron | 1. <anatomy> A neuron that receives input from sensory cells. 2. <physiology> Sensory cells such as cutaneous mechanoreceptors and muscle receptors. (18 Nov 1997) |
| sensory neuronopathy | Neuronopathy confined to dorsal root and gasserian ganglia. (05 Mar 2000) |
| sensory nuclei | A group of cell bodies that receive afferent (sensory) input from the periphery. (05 Mar 2000) |
| sensory paralysis | Loss of sensation; anaesthesia. (05 Mar 2000) |
| sensory precipitated epilepsy | Seizures which are induced by peripheral stimulation; e.g., audiogenic, laryngeal, photogenic, or other stimulation. Synonym: sensory precipitated epilepsy. (05 Mar 2000) |
| sensory receptors | Peripheral endings of afferent neurons. (05 Mar 2000) |
| sensory speech centre | The region of the cerebral cortex thought to be essential for understanding and formulating coherent, propositional speech; it encompasses a large region of the parietal and temporal lobes near the lateral sulcus of the left cerebral hemisphere; corresponding approximately to Brodmann's areas 40, 39, and 22. Synonym: sensory speech centre, Wernicke's area, Wernicke's field, Wernicke's region, Wernicke's zone. (05 Mar 2000) |
| sensory system agents | Drugs that act on neuronal sensory receptors resulting in an increase, decrease, or modification of afferent nerve activity. (12 Dec 1998) |
| sensory thresholds | The minimum amount of stimulus energy necessary to elicit a sensory response. (12 Dec 1998) |
| sensory tract | See: lemniscus. (05 Mar 2000) |
| somatic sensory cortex | Somatosensory cortex, the region of the cerebral cortex receiving the somatic sensory radiation from the ventrobasal nucleus of the thalamus; it represents the primary cortical processing mechanism for sensory information originating at the body surfaces (touch) and in deeper tissues such as muscle, tendons, and joint capsules (position sense); it corresponds approximately to Brodmann's areas 1, 2, 3 on the postcentral gyrus. Synonym: somesthetic area. (05 Mar 2000) |
| neuropathies, hereditary motor and sensory | A group of slowly progressive inherited disorders in which the predominant involvement is the peripheral motor neurons with lesser involvement of the peripheral sensory neurons. Neuronal degeneration and atrophy are characteristic of these disorders. Some of the associated characteristics are phytanic acid excess, optic atrophy, and retinitis pigmentosa. (12 Dec 1998) |
| neuropathies, hereditary sensory and autonomic | A group of inherited disorders in which there is selective involvement of the peripheral sensory and autonomic neurons and degeneration of fibres by axonal atrophy and degeneration. Five types of disorders have been described and classified type I through type v. (12 Dec 1998) |
| alum root | <botany> A North American herb (Heuchera Americana) of the Saxifrage family, whose root has astringent properties. Source: Websters Dictionary (01 Mar 1998) |
