Across
  1. 5. physical event/environmental energy that triggers the sensory
  2. 6. show little or no adaptation
  3. 10. describes the process by which the brain organizes and interprets sensory information, transforming it into meaningful objects and events
  4. 11. a body area innervated by a single sensory nerve
  5. 12. information processing that draws on experiences, expectations, higher-level functioning
  6. 13. specialized to transduce (convert) environmental energy into neural activity (AP)
  7. 14. display adaptation
  8. 15. most ascending sensory information travels to the thalamus and then to regions in the cortex
  9. 16. stretch
  10. 17. pain, itch, temperature
Down
  1. 1. analysis that begins with the sensory receptors and works up to the brain's integration of sensory info
  2. 2. touch; most precise, and densely populated
  3. 3. the translation of energy from an environmental stimulus into an AP
  4. 4. vibration and pressure
  5. 7. describes the process by which sensory receptors translate energy from stimuli into APs for the nervous system
  6. 8. distinct sensory information travels down through distinct neurons/nerve input to the brain
  7. 9. touch
