Proprioception - Physiology
Research News and Information
Definition of 'Proprioception'Sensory functions that transduce stimuli received by proprioceptive receptors in joints, tendons, muscles, and the INNER EAR into neural impulses to be transmitted to the CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM. Proprioception provides sense of stationary positions and movements of one's body parts, and is important in maintaining KINESTHESIA and POSTURAL BALANCE. Common names: Proprioception; Proprioceptions; Position Sense; Position Senses; Sense, Position; Senses, Position; Sense of Position |

Multimodal integration in rostral fastigial nucleus provides an estimate of body movement.
24 Aug 2009 
The ability to accurately control posture and perceive self-motion and spatial orientation requires knowledge of the motion of both the head and body. However, whereas the vestibular sensors and nuclei directly encode head motion, no sensors ... Read more...
30 Jul 2009 Flexibility is widely accepted as an important component of fitness, yet flexibility training can be detrimental to muscle performance particularly where a high number of stretch cycles are performed. The purpose of this study was to investigate ... Read more...
Reflections on Jacques Paillard (1920-2006)--a pioneer in the field of motor cognition.
23 Jul 2009 This article reviews the scientific contributions of Jacques Paillard (1920-2006), who strengthened substantially the role of physiological psychology in the field of movement neuroscience. His research began in 1947 under the direction of the ... Read more...
