Somatic Receptors
Mechanoreceptors
Nioceptors
Thermoreceptors
Chemoreceptors
Lobes
Frontal
Pariental
Occipital
Temporal
Receptive Field depends on:
Size
Density
Sulci
Central sulus
Pariental-occiptal sulcus
Lateral sulcus
Transverse fissure
Brain components
Cerebral cortex Diencephalon Cerebellum Brainstem (midbrain, pons and medullar oblongata) Corpus callosum Basal nuclei/ganglion
Information flow
Afferent (into the brain = sensory)
Efferent (out of the brain = motor)
