What activates the fore brain when there is important information to be processed?

Reticular activating system


What part of the brain serves as the relay station for receiving information form the sense organs and sending it to the cerebral cortex for processing?

The Thalamus receives the information. It is then relayed to the post-central gyrus of the cerebrum on which you can map the human body. This is called the sensory humunculus (or little human).


What is the Main relay center of the brain?

The main relay center of the brain is the thalamus. It acts as a gateway for sensory information to be relayed to the appropriate areas of the brain for processing, and also helps regulate consciousness, sleep, and alertness.


Is the hypothalamus is the area where afferent impulses from all senses and all parts of the body are sorted out and relayed to the appropriate area of the sensory cortex?

No, the hypothalamus is a region of the brain responsible for regulating various physiological processes such as temperature, hunger, and thirst. Afferent impulses from all senses and body parts are primarily sorted and relayed in the thalamus before being transmitted to the appropriate area of the sensory cortex.


Most nerve impulses from our senses are routed through the?

Most nerve impulses from our senses are routed through the thalamus before being relayed to the appropriate regions in the brain for processing. The thalamus acts as a relay station for sensory information, helping to regulate which signals are sent to the cortex for further analysis.

When sensory information is relayed from one part of the brain to another the pattern is called?

When sensory information is relayed from one part of the brain to another, the pattern is called neural transmission. This process involves the communication of signals between neurons through electrical and chemical signals.

What is the main purpose of the brainstem?

Brainstem regulates the breathing, heart rate, sleeping and etaing. All information relayed from the body to the cerebrum and cerebellum and vice versa.And the brainstem transveres it.


What is the neural pathway of touch?

The neural pathway of touch involves sensory receptors in the skin detecting a stimulus, which sends signals through sensory nerves to the spinal cord. In the spinal cord, the signals are relayed to the brainstem and then to the thalamus. From the thalamus, the signals are further processed and sent to the somatosensory cortex in the brain, where they are interpreted as touch.

Describe the neural pathway beginning with the sensory receptors and ending with the cortex?

There are multiple pathways by which information from sensory receptors reaches the cerebral cortex. These pathways vary based on the type of information carried. For example, information from the body about pain and temperature travels via a pathway called the anterolateral system; information from the body about conscious body position sense and fine touch travels through the dorsal column-medial lemniscus system. Unconscious sensation of body position has its own pathways. The face has a separate set of pathways that mirror those for the rest of the body.


Are the black picks relayed?

yes they are relayed


What part of the brain receives messages?

ThalamusIf you are referring to outside stimulus that are sensory messages, all stimuli, except smell, go to the thalamus in the brain which is then relayed to the cerebral cortex.


The three primary levels of neural integration in a somatosensory system?

-Level I: The receptor level corresponding to the sensory receptors -Level II: The circuit level corresponding to the ascending pathways -Level III: The perceptual level corresponding to the awareness of the incoming stimuli
