Sensory Perception
Functional Overview
Neuroanatomy
Pathology and Disease
| Area | Pathology/Disease | Symptom |
|---|---|---|
| Thalamus | Thalamic stroke, Thalamic pain syndrome, Thalamotomy | Sensory loss or changes, pain, abnormal sensation, movement disorders, memory and cognitive deficits |
| S1 | Stroke, Brain injury, Amputation, Phantom Limb Pain | Sensory loss, phantom limb sensations, altered tactile perception |
| S2 | Neuropathic pain, Complex Regional Pain Syndrome, Schizophrenia, Autism Spectrum Disorder | Pain, altered sensory perception, emotional processing deficits |
| S3 | Chronic pain, Fibromyalgia, Migraine, Depressive disorders | Pain, altered sensory perception, affective and emotional disturbances. |
Artificial Implementation Coverage
| Area | Function | Implemented artificially? |
|---|---|---|
| Thalamus | Integration and relay of sensory signals, modulation | Experimental, model stage |
| S1 | Subjective Sensory Perception, Processing basic somatosensory information; spatial discrimination of stimuli | Experimental, model stage |
| S2 | Tactile object discrimination, Processing complex somatosensory information; integration of sensory and emotional information; modulation of pain perception | Experimental, model stage |
| S3 | Integration of somatosensory information with other sensory modalities (Vision, Audio, Memory), higher-order processing of somatosensory stimuli; regulation of pain perception | Experimental, model stage |
