somæsthetic, a. Physiol.|səʊmiːsˈθɛtɪk|
Also -esthetic.
[f. Gr. σῶµα body + αἰσθητικ-ός perceptive.]
Pertaining to or designating those sensations (as of pressure, pain, or warmth) which can occur anywhere in the body, in contrast to those that depend on highly localized sense organs (as sight, balance, or taste).
1899L. F. Barker Nerv. System xlvii. 667 The region of the cortex in which the axones of the general sensory conduction path here considered terminate, I have designated as the somæsthetic area of the cortex. [Note] I wish to thank Prof. Gildersleeve, of the Johns Hopkins University, for suggesting this term as a suitable English equivalent for Munk's Körperfühlsphāre. 1922R. S. Woodworth Psychology iii. 63 There is a large and important area called the ‘somesthetic’, connected with the body senses generally, i.e., chiefly with the skin and muscle senses... Destruction of any part of this somesthetic area brings loss of the sensations from the corresponding part of the body. 1949Psychosomatic Med. XI. 338/2 The thalamus probably participates in a crude awareness of somesthetic sensations. 1968Passmore & Robson Compan. Med. Stud. I. xxiv. 51/1 The sensory or postcentral gyrus contains areas 1, 2 and 3 which are often considered together as the somaesthetic cortex, receiving sensations from the opposite side of the body. 1972Sci. Amer. Apr. 82/3 The patient cannot name objects held in his left hand because the somesthetic sensations cannot reach the verbal centers in the left hemisphere. 1977R. K. Davenport in D. M. Rumbaugh Language Learning by Chimpanzee iii. 75 In the brain of nonhuman primates as compared with the human brain, the auditory, visual, and somesthetic association areas are relatively independent.
Hence somæsˈthesis, the somæsthetic senses.
1928Funk's Stand. Dict., Somesthesis. 1950Ann. Rev. Psychol. I. 71 (heading) Somesthesis and the chemical senses. 1968[see kinæsthesis]. 1977H. G. Burger in B. Bernardi Concept & Dynamics of Culture 423 It [sc. the angular gyrus] lies between the association cortices of three non-limbic sensation modalities: vision, audition, and internal sensibility (somesthesis). |
