The human body has the ability to understand the environment around it by using its senses. The five basic human senses are hearing‚ sight‚ touch‚ smell‚ and taste. Anytime one of these senses is triggered by a specific stimulus the signal is transmitted to the brain in order for the information to be interpreted. This transmission process is known as perception. First the body will experience an external stimulus‚ the sensation. Then this information will be transformed into electrical stimulation

Background: A meta-analysis indicates that the use of foot orthoses seems to improve foot disability and reduced pain related to chronic plantar fasciitis. Preliminary evidence suggests that plantar fascia thickness greater than 4mm appears related to foot disability in individuals with chronic plantar fasciitis. However‚ it seems contradictory that inserting more plantar thickness‚ via foot orthosis or taping‚ to the already thickened plantar fascia‚ may be linked to reduced pain and disability

less acutely? It is commonly believed that amygdalitic coherence channels pain from the so-called ’fear centers’ via the relatively well understood epineuronic and pseudoneuronic mechanisms. Yet‚ there is little understanding of how the sensory homunculus finally integrates both types of information (Irvine 2003; Podgorny & Laslo 1992; Anselmo et al. 1998) especially in light of the supposed modulating capabilities of fear. In this paper we will discuss the various hypothesized

The loss of an arm or leg through amputation is not an easy experience to endure‚ and is even more difficult when the patient begins to feel uncomfortable sensations in their now missing limb. This feeling‚ referred to as "phantom pain" or "stump hallucination"‚ is a frustrating sensation to an amputee. For some amputees‚ these phantom sensations may be no more than painless distractions of pressure‚ warmth‚ and cold that do not interfere with their everyday lives. Some patients have even reported

subjects both felt sensations on very specific regions on their face as well as a‚ “ ‘tingling’ sensation in an individual digit” (Ramachandran‚ 1993‚ p. 10415) of the amputated arm. Dr. Ramachandran compared the location of senses to the Penfield homunculus and noticed that areas that amputees felt sensations from the Q tip (face and upper arm) are sandwiched between sensations for the hand. With this information‚ Dr. Ramachandran proposed the theory that the brain is capable of “remapping” sensations
