In the article it explained how simple affectionate touch and physical contact with others can have a positive effect on our physical and mental health by decreasing anxiety, stress, and depression, while…

Perception begins when the human brain receives data from body’s five senses touch, sight, taste, smell and hearing. Knowledge and experience are extremely important for the concept, perception, this is because they help us make sense of the input to our sensory system.

is the effects of opiates and opioids on nociceptor signal transmission? (2pts) Opiates 1) decrease the duration of the postsynaptic potential, probably by reducing 〖Ca〗^(2+) influx and thus decreasing the release of transmitter from the primary sensory terminals. 2) Hyperpolarize the dorsal horn neurons by activating a K^+conductance and thus decrease the amplitude of the post synaptic potential in the dorsal neuron. 8. What is the “Gate Theory” of pain by Melzack and Wall? (1pt) The firing of…

author and pediatric therapist Cris Rowan remarks, “Further analysis of the impact of technology on the developing child indicates that while the vestibular, proprioceptive, tactile and attachment systems are under stimulated, the visual and auditory sensory systems are in ‘overload’,” (Rowan). In other words, not only is there an underwhelming amount of things for students to do with a digital device, there is also an overwhelming amount of information for them to process with just hearing and…
