• Pain and temperature
• Somatosensory cortex

ORGANISATIONS OF CNS

• Basic functions of CNS:
• Receives information from different sensory nerves and receptors
• Integrates all these
• Determine responses to be made by body

CENTRAL DESIGN OF CNS

• Central design of CNS:
• CNS Neuron
• Information enters through synapse
• Synapse:connection between neurons for the transmission of nerve impulses
• Special feature of synapse: passes only in forward direction, from the axon of a preceding neuron to dendrites on cell membranes of susequent neuron
