Question

Complete each sentence to assess your knowledge of primary sensory coding receptive field Converting stimulus energy into a signal that conveys the relevant sensory information, such as stimulus type, intensity, location, and adaptation, to the central nervous system is termed coding. stimulus location recruitment Perception of the stimulus location depends on the size of the receptive field covered by a single sensory unit and on the overlap of nearby receptive fields. acuity A single afferent neuron with all its receptor endings makes up a sensory unit slowly adapting receptors can be coded for by rapidly adapting receptors, which fire for a brief period Stimulus duration at the onset and/or offset of a stimulus, or by repeatedly as long as a stimulus is ongoing. which fire stimulus modality All receptors of a given sensory unit respond to the same type of stimulus, also known as the rapidly adapting receptors The phenomenon of pathways increase sensory precision, or a stimulus. is an important means by which ascending lateral inhibition with which we can locate coding is coded by the rate of firing of individual sensory units and by the number of sensory units activated in a process called sensory unit Stimulus intensity

Explanation / Answer

All receptors of a given sensory unit respond to the same type of stimulius aiso known as the stimulus modality. Stimulus intensity is coded by the rate of firing of individual sensory units and by the number of sensory units activated process is called recuirement . lateral ihibition can be coded as the rapidly ascending receptors which fire for a breif period at the on the set of the stimulus the phenomenon of acuity us an important way by which ascending path ways increase sensory precesion or stimulus density with which we can locate a stimulus
