Talk:Sensory neuron

message: today redirected this article to sensory nerve, without explaining why, and then  reverted the redirect, without any explanation.  The redirect seems appropriate to me given the duplication of material and the lack of sources in this article, but let's discuss, please. Looie496 (talk) 18:35, 30 November 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Okay, good, I agree that different articles are justified if they have different content; if anything "sensory neuron" is the more important concept.  Thanks for explaining -- if you need to undo another editor's action in the future, unless it is clearly vandalism please at a minimum use an edit summary that explains why you are doing it.

thread_title:  Redirect to [[sensory nerve]]? 

message: I would like to mergeSensory nerve into this article, because there is a great overlap and Sensory nerve is not a very good article. No references at all, and the lead should be rewritten - with much more information on sensory neurons. So... what do you think? Lova Falk talk 17:55, 11 June 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: Hmm.  In principle there might be reasons to have a separate article, focusing on things like condunction velocity and effects of nerve damage, but I agree with you that there is no useful distinctive information in the current sensory nerve article, so I wouldn't oppose a merger.  I would like to leave the option open for somebody to create a separate article in the future though. Looie496 (talk) 18:09, 11 June 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: Absolutely. I mean, the future article. Lova Falk talk 07:55, 12 June 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: EDIT: Yes there may be anoverlap of information etcetra, but if some highschool/GCSE student were to use the search and find them both on the same page, they may confuse themselves as to which is which.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.42.137.57 (talk) 16:33, 9 September 2010 (UTC)

thread_title:  Merger proposal 

message: Sensory neurons were defined as cells that transduce a non-synaptic stimulus ("other modality") into an electrical signal (action potential) that is sent to the central nervous system. According to this definition, I cannot see what is the sensory neuron in the visual and the auditory system. Is it retinal ganglion cells? But they do not receive a light stimulus. In auditory, is it inner hair cells? But they don't produce spikes that are sent to the brain. I was confused when reading the article.
Furthermore, it is written several times "as shown in the picture, ...". But there is no picture. Maybe somebody can fix this. Thanks!  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Tilo1111 (talk • contribs) 06:43, 20 August 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: I've removed mention of the pictures, which were deleted for copyright reasons.  I've also reworded the first paragraph to fix the problem you identified (correctly I hope).  Thanks for bringing up these issues.  (By the way, some retinal ganglion cells actually are light-sensitive.) Looie496 (talk) 15:45, 8 April 2013 (UTC)
thread_title:  Definition of sensory neuron and missing picture 

message: Hello,
I just read this page, and I think there is room for improvement on the description of the auditory system.
This is currently written about the hair cells:
:There are two types of hair cells: inner and outer. The inner hair cells are the sensory receptors while the outer hair cells are usually from efferent axons originating from cells in the superior olivary complex[12]
''
The first statement is correct. Along the entire length of the cochlear duct, there is one row of inner hair cells and (usually) three rows of outer hair cells, in mammals.
However, I think the second sentence could be phrased a little better. Whereas the inner hair cells are indeed the sensory receptors of the cochlea, the outer hair cells are definitely sensory receptors as well, although their exact function still remains unknown (e.g. attenuators or amplifiers). 
As the inner hair cell and its connections (the type I spiral ganglion neurons) together form the main pathway for hearing, it might be better to rephrase to something like "the main sensory receptors for hearing" or something like that. 
I must confess that I do not fully understand the second part of the second sentence: while the outer hair cells are usually from efferent axons originating from cells in the superior olivary complex[12] 
Outer hair cells are indeed contacted by efferent axons from the olivary complex. Nevertheless, outer hair cells are also contacted by the type II spiral ganglion neurons in the spiral ganglion. Efferent fibers are not sensory neurons (are they?), so maybe it might be better to disregard the entire efferent system in this section? Even though they, and their typical pattern of connections, are very fascinating indeed. The sensory neurons in the auditory system are the type I and type II spiral ganglion neurons. 
I also have some issues with the subsection Problems with sensory neurons associated with the auditory system leads to disorders such as
Although this is very nice insightful information about some pathologies underlying auditory system disorders, I feel something very important has been left out completely. 
Please allow me to explain:
There is sound (or vibration). Hair cells depolarize and release neurotransmitters. In response, the type I spiral ganglion neurons start to fire and the signal is transported to the brain(stem). Hurray, we can hear!
So what happens when there is something wrong with the sensory neurons of the auditory system? Simply speaking: you become deaf! 
These processing disorders which are mentioned are related to pathologies in the brain, in the central nervous system, but not necessarily with the spiral ganglion cells themselves (which are part of the peripheral nervous system).
I hope this helps!

thread_title:  "Auditory" needs improvement 

message: Hi! I propose the merger of Sensory receptor into Sensory neuron. Both articles seem cover the same topic only under a different name. It seem to me that this direction of merging is best, since in both articles it is described as a neuron.
