	Sensory Integration International - Home Page
		We advocate early intervention to prevent sensory inefficiencies that have the potential of contributing to debilitating social or health conditions.
		Sensory Integration International was founded by a group of occupational therapists dedicated to helping people with disabilities through the application of knowledge from the neurobehavioral sciences.
		The growing volume of inquiries indicates that more and more individuals are learning about sensory integration and are in need of services and publications.

	Sensory neuron - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		'Sensory neurons('neurones) are nerve cells within the nervous system responsible for converting external stimuli from the organism's environment into internal electrical motor reflex loops and several forms of involuntary behavior, including pain avoidance.
		In complex organisms, sensory neurons relay their information to the central nervous system or in less complex organisms, such as the hydra, directly to motor neurons and sensory neurons also transmit information to the brain, where it can be further processed and acted upon.
		At the molecular level, sensory receptors located on the cell membrane of sensory neurons are responsible for the conversion of stimuli into electrical impulses.

	Sensory Integrative Dysfunction in Young Children
		Sensory integration is not an area of expertise at the school.
		However, it is important to identify and address sensory integrative dysfunction to enable the child to function at his or her optimum level and to minimize disruption in family life.
		Sensory integration occurs in the central nervous system and is generally thought to take place in the mid-brain and brainstem levels in complex interactions of the portions of the brain responsible for such things as coordination, attention, arousal levels, autonomic functioning, emotions, memory, and higher level cognitive functions.

	Hemi-Sync and Sensory Integration
		Sensory integration is a term used to describe the way in which the brain sorts out and organizes for our use the many sensations which we receive.
		Sensory Integrative Treatment was developed out of the extensive research of A. Jean Ayres, an occupational therapist with a strong interest in the sensory systems and sensory integrative dysfunction (Ayres 1964; Ayres 1965; Ayres 1966; Ayres 1972).
		For example, although two children with sensory organizing difficulties responded poorly to the tapes, a third child whose clinical behaviors were similar, responded positively and made major gains in reducing seizures, improving her focus of attention, and developing some basic communication skills when Hemi-Sync tapes were included in her program (Morris 1983).

	Sensory Memory
		Sensory information is stored for just an instant in sensory registers in the brain and is relatively unprocessed.
		The sensory memory discussed here is different from the memory of the senses, which may well be stored in long term memory.
		Although sensory memory can occur for any of the senses, most sensory memory research seems to focus on iconic memory and echoic memory.

	Sensory Integration Dysfunction
		When an individual has sensory integration dysfunction, he or she may be unable to respond to certain sensory information to plan and organize what he or she needs to do in an appropriate and automatic manner.
		Using the example of crossing the street, an individual with sensory integration dysfunction may be unable to process the sound of the blowing horn, causing him or her to freeze (a fright response--as a deer caught in a spotlight).
		The fact that sensory integration dysfunction is generally not a visible disability, the child may be treated unfairly or the disability not be given consideration.

		Activation of descending inhibitory pathways activate inhibitory interneurons that terminate on the terminals of nociceptive neurons in the spinal cord and inhibit the release of substance P from the sensory fibers.

		Sensory neuropathy not only affects the quality of life, but is frequently under-treated, even by expert HIV providers.
		There is a preferential loss of small, unmyelinated nerve fibers in HIV sensory neuropathy and evidence of neuronal and axonal degeneration, both within the dorsal root ganglia (where the cell bodies of the sensory neurons reside) and along the peripherally directed axons.
		The incidence of toxic sensory neuropathy appears to be rising mainly because of the widespread use of double dideoxynucleosides, with and without hydroxyurea.

	Sensory Neuron
		The purpose of sensory neurons is to take physical aspects of the world, such as leg rotation and energy level, and convert them into intrinsic currents that then cause neurons to alter their firing frequency.
		The basic thing that the sensory neuron does is that it takes data from some element of the insect and uses the sensory mapping function to associate the values of that data element with an intrinsic current.
		So the important thing to remember about sensory neurons is that they take data about the physical world and transform that into a firing pattern of the neuron.

		Sensory integration is an innate neurobiological process and refers to the integration and interpretation of sensory stimulation from the environment by the brain.
		In contrast, sensory integrative dysfunction is a disorder in which sensory input is not integrated or organized appropriately in the brain and may produce varying degrees of problems in development, information processing, and behavior.
		The therapist's general goals are: (1) to provide the child with sensory information which helps organize the central nervous system, (2) to assist the child in inhibiting and/or modulating sensory information, and (3) to assist the child in processing a more organized response to sensory stimuli.
