Question
in which part of the body does sensory adaptation happen?
the gate control pathway
sensory receptors
the thalamus
sensory cortex
Sensory adaptation is the process by which our sensory receptors change their sensitivity to stimuli. It primarily occurs at the level of sensory receptors. For example, when entering a room with a strong smell, over time we become less aware of it as the olfactory receptors adapt. The gate - control pathway is related to pain modulation, the thalamus relays sensory information, and the sensory cortex processes the information received, but the initial adaptation happens at the receptors.
