Description for Corticofugal Modulation of Sensory Information
Paperback. Sensory signals reach the cerebral cortex after having made synapses in different relay stations along the sensory pathway. Several lines of research indicate that the massive corticifugal system improves ongoing subcortical sensory processing and reorganizes the receptive fields in visual, auditory and somatosensory systems. Series: Advances in Anatomy, Embryology and Cell Biology. Num Pages: 84 pages, biography. BIC Classification: MJN. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational. Dimension: 235 x 155 x 5. Weight in Grams: 150.
1 Introduction The processing of sensory information by the central nervous system is dif?cult to understand by the complex interconnections between subcortical and cortical areas. Connections between the thalamus and cortex are largely reciprocal, with information being processed in both feed-forward (periphery to thalamus to c- tex) and feedback (corticothalamic) directions. Sensory signals reach the cerebral cortex after having made synapses in different relay stations along the sensory pa- way. Classically, excitatory and inhibitory actions have been thought to modulate sensory responses in the relay stations, thereby contributing to sensory proce- ing in the central nervous system. However, anatomical studies ... Read more
