Discussion: Pathways of the Sensory Systems
Continuing from the sense of touch last week, there are four additional senses: hearing, taste, smell, and vision. For any of these senses, the information needs to travel from the external environment, be transduced by sensory receptors, and then be transmitted to the brain. Along the way, information from most senses is filtered by passing through the thalamus before reaching the specialized sensory areas in the brain.
For this Discussion, you will explore the pathways from the environment to the brain for an assigned sense. Then you will consider a clinical condition in which that sensory system does not work correctly.
To prepare:
To ensure that all five senses are considered in this class, you will be assigned a sense based on your last name.
Last Name A – E: Touch
Last Name F – J: Hearing
Last Name K – N: Smell
Last Name O – R: Taste
Last Name S – Z: Vision
For your assigned sense, review this week’s Learning Resources and focus on how signals from the environment are received in the brain.
Research a clinical condition involving the impairment of your assigned sense.
Post a response to the following:
For your assigned sense:
Describe the pathways from the environment to the brain.
Identify and describe the receptors that transduce the signal from the environment. Then name and briefly describe the path that this sensory information takes from the receptors to the central nervous system.
Include and describe the region of the brain where this signal terminates.
Finally, describe a clinical condition in which this sense is impaired and the biological reason for the impairment.
Support your posting with specific references from literature in the Walden Library and Learning Resources.

The background and significance of the problem and a clear statement of the research purpose is provided. The search history is mentioned.
Methodology 58-53 points
Content is well-organized with headings for each slide and bulleted lists to group related material as needed. Use of font, color, graphics, effects, etc. to enhance readability and presentation content is excellent. Length requirements of 10 slides/pages or less is met.
Average Score 50-85%
40-38 points More depth/detail for the background and significance is needed, or the research detail is not clear. No search history information is provided.
83-76 points Review of relevant theoretical literature is evident, but there is little integration of studies into concepts related to problem. Review is partially focused and organized. Supporting and opposing research are included. Summary of information presented is included. Conclusion may not contain a biblical integration.
52-49 points Content is somewhat organized, but no structure is apparent. The use of font, color, graphics, effects, etc. is occasionally detracting to the presentation content. Length requirements may not be met.
Poor Quality 0-45%
37-1 points The background and/or significance are missing. No search history information is provided.
75-1 points Review of relevant theoretical literature is evident, but there is no integration of studies into concepts related to problem. Review is partially focused and organized. Supporting and opposing research are not included in the summary of information presented. Conclusion does not contain a biblical integration.
48-1 points There is no clear or logical organizational structure. No logical sequence is apparent. The use of font, color, graphics, effects etc. is often detracting to the presentation content. Length requirements may not be met
