A sense is a biological system used by an organism for sensation, the process of gathering information about the surroundings through the detection of stimuli. During sensation, sense organs collect various stimuli (such as a sound or smell) for transduction, meaning transformation into a form that can be understood by the brain. Sensation and perception are fundamental to nearly every aspect of an organism's cognition, behavior and thought. Although, in some cultures, five human senses were traditionally identified as such (namely sight, smell, touch, taste, and hearing), many more are now recognized. Senses used by non-human organisms are even greater in variety and number. In organisms,…

Chemoreception and the sense of smell. Abstract “Chemoreception and the sense of smell” is the seventh chapter of the book Sensory Transduction and begins with a general description of chemoreception, including chemotaxis in bacteria. It then describes olfaction in insects, including new discoveries of the nature of insect receptor proteins and the coding of olfaction in insects. It proceeds to review olfaction in vertebrates, beginning with the primary olfactory epithelium. It describes olfactory receptor proteins, the mechanism of olfactory transduction, and pathways of desensitization and adaptation. The basis of coding in the principal olfactory epithelium is described together with the…

According to the APA Dictionary of Psychology, a feeling is "a self-contained phenomenal experience"; feelings are "subjective, evaluative, and independent of the sensations, thoughts, or images evoking them". The term feeling is closely related to, but not the same as, emotion. Feeling may, for instance, refer to the conscious subjective experience of emotions. The study of subjective experiences is called phenomenology. Psychotherapy generally involves a therapist helping a client understand, articulate, and learn to effectively regulate the client's own feelings, and ultimately to take responsibility for the client's experience of the world. Feelings are sometimes held to be characterist…

From pineal photoreception to optogenetics: functional colour opponency based on a pineal bistable opsin.. Most animals sense light through opsins, which are photosensitive G protein-coupled receptors that utilize light information to regulate various physiological functions. In vertebrates, a representative example of such functions is vision, which is based on photoreception by visual opsins expressed in rod and cone photoreceptor cells of the retina. Accumulating photobiological evidence has gradually revealed the significance of the molecular properties of these opsins, as well as those of signal transduction-related molecules such as transducin, rhodopsin kinases, and arrestins, and th…

Smart patches for healthcare industry: a review of emerging technologies, challenges, and developmental opportunities.. Background Smart patch healthcare devices are emerging as a distinct user interface in decoding the bidirectional interaction of the five sense organs. Powered by recent advancements in nano-materials, and artificial intelligence predictions, smart patches could understand the immune response of the body by analysing the biofluids, microenvironment and analytes in the five sense organs. These eminent potentials in smart patches, inspired the necessity for a review. Thus, this review aims to bring in to the limelight the current progress in smart patch technologies, highlig…

( PROH-pree-oh-SEP-shən, -⁠ə-) is the sense of self-movement, force, and body position. Proprioception is mediated by proprioceptors, sensory receptors located within muscles, tendons, joints and the vestibular organs. Most animals possess multiple subtypes of proprioceptors, which detect distinct kinesthetic variables, such as position, movement, and force. Although all mobile animals possess proprioceptors, the structure of the sensory organs can vary across species. Limb proprioceptive signals are transmitted to the central nervous system, where they are integrated with information from other sensory systems, such as the visual system and the vestibular system, to create an overall repre…

The vomeronasal organ (VNO), or Jacobson's organ, is the paired auxiliary olfactory (smell) sense organ located in the soft tissue of the nasal septum, in the nasal cavity just above the roof of the mouth (the hard palate) in various tetrapods. The name is derived from the fact that it lies adjacent to the unpaired vomer bone (from Latin vomer 'plowshare', for its shape) in the nasal septum. It is present and functional in all snakes and lizards, and in many mammals, including cats, dogs, cattle, pigs, and primates. The VNO contains the cell bodies of sensory neurons which have receptors that detect specific non-volatile (liquid) organic compounds which are conveyed to them from the environ…

Peripheral chemoreceptors (of the carotid and aortic bodies) are so named because they are sensory extensions of the peripheral nervous system into blood vessels where they detect changes in chemical concentrations. As transducers of patterns of variability in the surrounding environment, carotid and aortic bodies count as chemosensors in a similar way as taste buds and photoreceptors. However, because carotid and aortic bodies detect variation within the body's internal organs, they are considered interoceptors. Taste buds, olfactory bulbs, photoreceptors, and other receptors associated with the five traditional sensory modalities, by contrast, are exteroceptors in that they respond to sti…

Stimulus modality, also called sensory modality, is one aspect of a stimulus or what is perceived after a stimulus. For example, the temperature modality is registered after heat or cold stimulate a receptor. Some sensory modalities include: light, sound, temperature, taste, pressure, and smell. The type and location of the sensory receptor activated by the stimulus plays the primary role in coding the sensation. All sensory modalities work together to heighten stimuli sensation when necessary.
