Talk:Sensory nervous system

message: unify the articles "Sense" & "Sensory system"?
I believe this is a very poor idea.  These are two totally separate subjects.  Sensory system should be annotated as to applying to that physiological portion of the neural system in animals, and sense needs to be disambiguated before it is discussed in one of possibly multiple contexts on its own.  I have recently expanded the introduction to reflect this reasoning  Steamboat Jim (talk) 21:30, 24 November 2012 (UTC)

message: what about the sensory pathways? spinothalamic, dorsal columns? 193.1.229.15 28 November 2006
I believe the sensory pathways should be discussed on an individual modality basis since the pathways differ markedly.  Most of the primary sensory modalities do not employ the spinal chord prior to its reaching the "lower" or "primitive" brain.  Steamboat Jim (talk) 21:34, 24 November 2012 (UTC)

thread_title:  What about the content of this page

message: Since lots of animals including invertebrates link here we should maybe organize the article into human and nonhuman section.  Someone who gets here from Antenna (biology) will be confused by the olfactory bulbs.  I tried to link tactile sense from an arthropod and couldn't find any page that had clearly defined relevant information. (e.g. do invertebrates have a Somatosensory system?  I somehow suspect they don't.)  Please either reorganize and add relevant info or create an additional page and clean up the links. Thanks. (Lisa4edit) 76.97.245.5 (talk) 17:39, 9 February 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Have you ever held a sea slug in your hand? They undeniably react if you touch it with your finger. Sounds like a somatosensory reaction to me! --Ancheta Wis (talk) 14:32, 14 March 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: But the sea slug's response is an electro-mechanical reflex similar to the nictation reflex in your eye.  Such primative sense-response reflexes should not be equated to mammalian sensory perception. Greensburger (talk) 16:42, 14 March 2011 (UTC)
thread_title: Human centric

message: I deleted the recent additions because they are ill-referenced, and not consistent with the rest of the article, or with any approach in neuroscience that is at all obvious. In fact the citations are to a website that is of course not peer-reviewed, and is likely the website of the editor, Steamboat Jim
I do, however, think the lead for this article could be improved. Does anyone have any suggestions?

replies: text: I am going to re-undo the edits I recently made because the main citation, someone's website, is not peer-reviewed, and is not a reliable source. In general the material is completely unfounded, and no background or basis is given for it. Original research is suspected.

message: Hello fellow Wikipedians,
I have just added archive links to  on Sensory system. Please take a moment to review my edit. If necessary, add  after the link to keep me from modifying it. Alternatively, you can add  to keep me off the page altogether. I made the following changes:
*Added archive https://web.archive.org/20090112034609/http://www.encyclopedia.com:80/doc/1O87-sensoryreceptor.html to http://www.encyclopedia.com/doc/1O87-sensoryreceptor.html
When you have finished reviewing my changes, please set the checked parameter below to true to let others know.
Cheers. —cyberbot IITalk to my owner:Online 18:02, 18 October 2015 (UTC)
thread_title:  External links modified 

message: The Modality section used to be labeled strangely with O1, V1, A1, G1, and S1, as if each of the "five senses" had a dedicated cortex with a single alphanumeric name. Some reference to Jeff Hawkins made it sound like this was a deliberately oversimplified model of the human sensorium created for his Memory-prediction framework. I removed the paragraph about Hawkins and mostly removed the strange labels — it seems that S1 is perhaps a real thing.
But once these things have been removed, what exactly is the "Modality" section for? It used to be an inaccurate list of cortical areas. But it's directly preceded by the more accurate section Sensory Cortex.
I was going to ask for ideas, but I guess I've talked myself into deleting the section entirely. It's possible the article needs more top-level sections, but there's nothing worth preserving in this one. Dranorter (talk) 02:51, 5 January 2017 (UTC)
thread_title:  What should the Modality section be for? 

message: Just to note that I think the page move would have been better for Sensory nervous system to move to Sensory system. 
Firstly : there is no such distinction in the subdivisions of the Nervous system. A sensory system as described on the page refers to, for example the visual system the vestibular system which all state on their pages that they are a sensory system. It would make no sense at all to refer to them as a sensory nervous system.
Secondly: Comparing the two terms - on nGrams sensory nervous system hardly registers whilst sensory system has a high reading. Google search gives 105K hits for Sensory nervous system, and nearly 1.4 million for Sensory system. --Iztwoz (talk) 16:32, 20 October 2019 (UTC)
