- Thalamus directly.
- Cerebellum.
- Brainstem and then to the thalamus.
- Spinal cord.
- Sensory adaptation
- Frequency coding
- Two-point discrimination
- Lateral inhibition
- The cell increases its sensitivity to a stimulus.
- The number of receptors on the cell surface decreases due to prolonged high ligand concentration.
- Receptors become more efficient at signal transduction.
- New receptors are synthesized.
- Occipital lobe
- Parietal lobe
- Frontal lobe
- Temporal lobe
- A continuous strong stimulus causing decreased receptor sensitivity.
- An increase in the number of receptors on a cell surface in response to low ligand concentration.
- Receptor desensitization due to prolonged exposure.
- Receptor binding to an antagonist.

- The blood vessels of the retina.
- The optic nerve.
- The cornea.
- Mechanoreceptors
- Photoreceptors
- Chemoreceptors
- Thermoreceptors
- Peripheral vision.
- Central vision and high acuity.
- Night vision.
- Color perception.

- Pain sensitizers.
- Pain modulators, reducing pain perception.
- Receptor activators.
- Neurotransmitter reuptake inhibitors.
- Sensitization
- Adaptation

- All pain is psychological.
- Pain signals are always transmitted directly to the brain.
- Non-painful input can close the "gates" to painful input, preventing it from reaching the brain.
- Pain perception is solely determined by the intensity of the stimulus.
- Chemoreceptors
- Thermoreceptors
- Mechanoreceptors (stretch receptors)
- Nociceptors
- Smell
- Hearing
- Vision
- Taste
