Peripheral sensitisation - Study guides, Revision notes & Summaries

Lecture notes from Imperial College London, Medical Biosciences BSc, 2nd year, Neuroscience (NEU) module. These notes group both NEU 7a (The Somatosensory System - Chronic Pain) on the sensory system and NEU7b (Motor Control And Parkinson’s Disease) on the motor system. learning outcomes NEU 7a: LO1: List and define the major somatosensory modalities. LO2: Explain the neurophysiological terms: receptor, stimulus threshold, stimulus intensity, as applied to sensory systems. LO3: Sum...

Lecture notes from Imperial College London, Medical Biosciences BSc, 2nd year, Neuroscience (NEU) module. The afferent (sensory) and efferent (motor) divisions of the nervous system provide vital information about our outside world and allow us to implement an appropriate behaviour. We will look at the sensory system in the first part of this module (a). learning outcomes: LO1: List and define the major somatosensory modalities. LO2: Explain the neurophysiological terms: receptor, st...

Human physiology - outlining the main concepts of what causes peripheral and central sensitisation and how pain can be modulated by detailing the pain gait theory.
