The stimulus is what triggers the reflex response.
Yes, sensory receptors do fire action potentials in response to stimuli.
reflex
Autonomous means uncontrollable. Sensory relates to the sensations felt. Meridians are the sensitive points on our bodies Response is the reaction. The effects of ASMR are uncontrollable sensory responses that affect one or two of our meridians.
reflex
Yes, ASMR does stand for autonomous sensory meridian response. It is the effect of brain tingling triggered by certain visual and sound stimuli.
The characteristics of autonomous sensory meridian response (ASMR) differ by individual. The main characteristics are head tingling, relaxation, calmness, sleepiness, happiness and "headgasms".
Sensory adaptation refers to the decreased response of sensory receptors to a constant stimulus, leading to reduced perception of that stimulus over time. Negative adaptation, on the other hand, involves a decrease in the overall response of a system to a stimulus due to prolonged exposure. While sensory adaptation is specific to sensory receptors, negative adaptation is a more general phenomenon that can occur across various systems in response to prolonged stimulation.
This condition is referred to as sensory overload or sensory deprivation, depending on whether there is an excessive amount of stimuli or an absence of stimuli causing the abnormal response.
Reflex
It Is Sensory
The component that determines the response to a stimulus in a reflex arc is the interneuron. This neuron receives the sensory input from the sensory neuron, processes the information, and then sends signals to initiate the appropriate motor response via the motor neuron.
