Sensory Physiology Concepts To Understand Receptor Potential Amplitude Coding Frequency Coding Activation/Inactivation Neural Adaptation Synaptic Depression Synaptic Depression Receptive Field Primary: Always On Secondary:Center:On/Surround:Off Lateral Inhibition 2-point Discrimination Sharpening Receptive Field Classification of Sensory Receptors • Nomenclature based on • Nomenclature based on sensory stimulus source type of sensory stimulus • Exteroreceptor • Interoreceptor • Propioceptive receptor • • • • • • Mechanoreceptor Chemoreceptor Thermoreceptor Nocireceptor Photoreceptor Electroreceptor How to Code the Stimulus Strength • Amplitude Coding • Frequency Coding • Population Coding – How many neurons responded to stimulus? • Sensitivity of Neurons – Did you activate neurons with low as well as high threshold for activation? Receptor Potential: the neuron’s electrical response to the Sensory stimulus Leads to an action potential in the primary or 2nd sensory neuron Amplitude Coding • The amplitude of the receptor potential increases as the sensory input increases • It modifies the firing rate of action potential • The size of the receptor potential gives information about the strength of the sensory stimulus. Action Potential Firing Rate • The steady state rate of action potential firing can increase or decrease in frequency known as “On” pathway and “Off” pathway. • Secondary neurons can receive inputs from both “on” and “off” neurons and that leads to more sensitivity. Frequency Coding • Firing rate of action potential encodes the strength of the stimulus.

Cortical somatosensory neurons also have more complex and selective stimulus requirements for responses, such as a specific of movement Direction Sensitive Coritical Neurons in S1 somatosensory cortex Inhibitory Interneuron Has only 1 synapse On adjacent neuron
