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