Sentences with phrase «transmit sensory information»

«Neuroscientists identify source of early brain activity: Brain cells that support early structural development also transmit sensory information; discovery could enable early diagnosis of autism and other cognitive deficits.»

A new study suggests that these neurons do, in fact, transmit sensory information.

Working with an animal model, the researchers found that a type of cell present in the brain's primary processing area during early development, long thought to form structural scaffolding with no role in transmitting sensory information, may conduct such signals after all.

The spinal cord has three major functions: sending motor information traveling down the spinal cord, transmitting sensory information in the reverse direction to the brain, and as a center for coordinating certain reflexes.

Hands on learning: Waldorf system helps children's development, Kids Naturally An article written by Halton Waldorf School As early as infancy, as children suck on fingers and grasp objects of interest, their hands transmit important sensory information to boost brain development.

Specialized sensory neurons in the inner ear, called hair cells, are responsible for the detection of sounds, and this information is transmitted to the auditory cortex via several intermediate structures.

The cortex was where the sensory information — in this case, the sound of the tone — was integrated into conscious awareness, alongside other sensory data transmitted from other parts of the brain.

In your brain, the information flow looks something like this: Your eyes and ears transmit basic sensory information to the auditory and visual thalamus, where the information is then transmitted along two paths.

The white matter of the spinal cord, which contains the nerve fibers responsible for transmitting movement commands from the brain to the limbs and sensory information from the limbs to the brain, degenerates.

This white matter contains fibers that transmit movement commands from the brain to the limbs and sensory information from the limbs to the brain.

It also transmits signals in reverse like sensory information from nerve endings to the brain, and it coordinates certain reflexes too.
