Proprioception in Insects Iii. the Function of the Hair Sensilla at the Joints
LOWNE (1890) described an organ, which he called the "prosternal organ", from the extreme anterior part of the thorax of the blowfly. This seems to be the first mention in the literature of the peculiar concentrations of hair sensilla which are to be found near the joint surfaces in many parts of the insect body, and whose function presents an interesting problem. Lowne's figure of the prostern...
متن کاملProprioception.
Although familiar to each of us, the sensation of inhabiting a body is ineffable. Traditional senses like vision and hearing monitor the external environment, allowing humans to have shared sensory experiences. But proprioception, the sensation of body position and movement, is fundamentally personal and typically absent from conscious perception. Nonetheless, this 'sixth sense' remains critica...
متن کاملProprioception in the cerebellum
Proprioception is the ability to interpret our musculo-skeletal state (e.g., position and movement) by processing information originating from our own body. While it is generally accepted that passive proprioception (i.e., proprioception in the absence of muscle contraction) is dependent only on the processing of peripheral inputs, the precise nature of the processes constituting active proprio...
متن کاملAmes's window in proprioception.
When holding a small-scale model of Ames's trapezoidal window with the arms fully extended, several observers experience a striking proprioceptive distortion (eg one hand appears farther from the other, or one arm appears longer than the other). However, data from a matching experiment suggest that the proprioceptive misalignment of the hands is, in fact, rather less than the apparent slant of ...
متن کاملPlasticity and proprioception in insects. I. Responses and cellular properties of individual receptors of the locust metathoracic femoral chordotonal organ.
The metathoracic femoral chordotonal organ is a joint angle receptor of the locust hindleg. It consists of 45-55 bipolar sensory neurones located distally in the femur and mechanically coupled to the tibia. Responses of receptors of the organ were examined by extracellular and intracellular recording. The organ as a whole encodes the angle of the femorotibial joint but shows substantial hystere...
