Sensory Physiology: Receptors, Pathways, and Cortex

📱 Digital Download | PDF | Instant Access

Make the concepts clear. Connect the pathways. Understand how sensation becomes perception.

Sensory Physiology: General Sensory Systems — Receptors, Pathways, and Cortex explains how the body detects stimuli, carries sensory information, and transforms neural signals into conscious experience. Written by Dr. Swati Bansal, MD, this volume in the Human Physiology Series turns complex sensory pathways into a clear, connected, and clinically relevant learning experience.

Rather than memorising receptors and tracts in isolation, readers build an integrated understanding of sensory transduction, ascending pathways, cortical processing, and the clinical effects of lesions at different levels of the nervous system.

What readers can expect

• Clear explanations of sensory receptors and transduction
• Connected pathways from the periphery to the cerebral cortex
• Structured coverage of touch, pain, temperature, proprioception, and special sensory integration
• Clinical relevance built into the learning process
• A focused approach suited to study, revision, and practical application

Ideal for

Medical students, physiology learners, healthcare trainees, educators, and anyone seeking a clinically relevant introduction to sensory physiology.

From sensation to understanding.
