The Body In Space
(a “constructed” modality)
How are our limbs, trunk, and head positioned?
Where is our body with respect to the world?
Where are objects with respect to our bodies?
Where are objects with respect to each other?

X-centric
• Egocentric – with respect to the perceiver
• Allocentric – with respect to some external
reference (“the world”)
• Retinocentric – eye centered
• Head centered, etc…
“frames of reference” or “coordinate frames”

proprioception: the perception by an animal of stimuli
relating to its own position, posture, equilibrium, or
internal condition.
proprioceptor: sensory receptor, found chiefly in
muscles, tendons, joints, and the inner ear, that
detects the motion or position of the body or a limb by
responding to stimuli arising within the organism.

disorder:
sensory ataxia
disorder:
cerebellar ataxia
Two systems that use position sense
• Dorsal Column /
Medial Lemniscus
• position sense
(and locomotion)
• “conscious”
• Cerebellum
• motor coordination
• “unconscious”
Ataxia: unsteady and clumsy movement of the limbs or trunk
due to a failure of the gross coordination of muscle movements

Joint Position Sense
• Two observations:
– Constant tug on tendons seemed to have no perceptual
effect
– Anesthetizing finger joints interrupted position sense
• Led to incorrect conclusion that joint receptors must
be responsible for conscious proprioception

Joint Receptors Are Not the Whole Story
• Joint receptors primarily discharge at extremes
• When joints are totally replaced by prostheses, joint
position sense is still available
• Muscle spindle inputs do contribute to our position
sense, but they must be appropriately stimulated
• Vibration of the tendon activates Ia afferents, which
leads to a sensation of limb position change
• Large diameter afferents project (via the DC/ML path)
to area 3a of sensory cortex

Coordinate System Transformations
• Points in space can be referenced to many
different coordinate systems
– eye (eye-centered/oculocentric, retina/retinocentric)
– head (craniocentric; audition & vestibular)
– body (egocentric)
– world (allocentric)
• As we plan movements, information coded in
various coordinate systems must be unified

Posterior Parietal Cortex
• receives projections from primary somatosensory cortex (S1)
• also receives projections from visual and auditory cortices, thalamus, and hippocampus: association cortex

More complex parietal deficits
• Balint’s syndrome (areas 5/7)– “sticky fixation”
– simultagnosia – can only attend to one item at a time
– optic ataxia – difficulty reaching for objects using vision
• Contralateral neglect (right parietal)
• Apraxias – loss of skilled movements (in absence of impaired primary motor function)– Ideomotor apraxia – inability to copy movements or gestures
– Constructional apraxia – impairment in assembling, building, drawing objects, copy figures
