Sensorimotor Striatum
Sensorimotor or sensory-motor may refer to: * Sensory motor amnesia * Sensorimotor rhythm * Sensory-motor coupling * The ''sensorimotor stage'' in Piaget's theory of cognitive development Piaget's theory of cognitive development is a comprehensive theory about the nature and development of human intelligence. It was originated by the Swiss developmental psychologist Jean Piaget (1896–1980). The theory deals with the nature of ...

Sensory Motor Amnesia
Thomas Louis Hanna (November 21, 1928 – July 29, 1990) was a philosophy professor and movement theorist who coined the term somatics in 1976. He called his work Hanna Somatic Education. He proposed that most negative health effects are due to what he called Sensory Motor Amnesia. He claimed that many common age-related ailments are not simply a matter of time but the result of poor movement habits. Life Thomas Hanna was born in Nov. 21, 1928 in Waco, Texas, the son of Winifred Hanna and John Dwight Hanna, a traveling representative for a pharmaceutical firm. He went to Waco High School. In 1949, Thomas Hanna earned a bachelor's degree in theology from Texas Christian University.Mower, M., 1990. In Memory of Thomas Hanna. Massage, Nov/Dec 1990, p. 73 The following year he married Susan Taft on 12 May 1950. They went to Paris and Thomas Hanna served as Director at Jean de Beauvais Club of the University of Paris. Returning to the US he earned a Bachelors of Divinity at the Universit ...

Sensorimotor Rhythm
The sensorimotor rhythm (SMR) is a neural oscillation, brain wave. It is an oscillatory idle rhythm of synchronized electric brain activity. It appears in spindles in recordings of EEG, Magnetoencephalography, MEG, and ECoG over the motor cortex, sensorimotor cortex. For most individuals, the frequency of the SMR is in the range of 13 to 15 Hz. Meaning The meaning of SMR is not fully understood. Phenomenologically, a person is producing a stronger SMR amplitude when the corresponding sensorimotor areas are idle, e.g. during states of immobility. SMR typically decreases in amplitude when the corresponding sensory or motor system, motor areas are activated, e.g. during motor tasks and even during motor imagery. Conceptually, SMR is sometimes mixed up with alpha waves of occipital origin, the strongest source of neural signals in the EEG. One reason might be, that without appropriate spatial filtering the SMR is very difficult to detect because it is usually flooded by the ...

Sensory-motor Coupling
Sensory-motor coupling is the coupling or integration of the sensory system and motor system. Sensorimotor integration is not a static process. For a given stimulus, there is no one single motor command. "Neural responses at almost every stage of a sensorimotor pathway are modified at short and long timescales by biophysical and synaptic processes, recurrent and feedback connections, and learning, as well as many other internal and external variables". Overview The integration of the sensory and motor systems allows an animal to take sensory information and use it to make useful motor actions. Additionally, outputs from the motor system can be used to modify the sensory system's response to future stimuli. To be useful it is necessary that sensory-motor integration be a flexible process because the properties of the world and ourselves change over time. Flexible sensorimotor integration would allow an animal the ability to correct for errors and be useful in multiple situations. ...
