2 Department of Physiology, 2 nd Faculty of Medicine, Charles University Copyright © 2011 Luděk Nerad Sensory transduction Neurophysiology page 1 Reception, perception, and transmission of information Our actions are based on what we perceive, i.e. the brain can ”read” it. The brain creates subj. experience

9 Department of Physiology, 2 nd Faculty of Medicine, Charles University Copyright © 2011 Luděk Nerad Sensory transduction Neurophysiology page 1.. Common to all types of sensory receptors Change of membrane potential -> Generation of receptor (“generator”) potential Similar to postsynaptic potentials -> Threshold for action potential must be crossed Receptor potential is graded, i.e., it is proportional to stimulus strength Receptor potentials decrease with distance

10 Department of Physiology, 2 nd Faculty of Medicine, Charles University Copyright © 2011 Luděk Nerad Sensory transduction Neurophysiology page 1..
