Explain how patients in a vegetative state can have no damage totheir cerebral cortex and yet lack awareness of theirenvironment.

They will often reflexively respond to visual and auditorystimuli. How does this phenomenon relate to the unaffected parts oftheir brain involved in sensory input?

Compare and contrast referredpain and phantom limb pain. Begin your answer byoutlining the steps of a somatic sensory pathway involved intransmitting a pain signal from the site of the stimulus to thecerebral cortex (i.e., do not describe the reflexresponse). Be specific in naming the receptor, theneurons, the primary neurotransmitter released by the sensoryneuron, and the specific region of the brain involved in processingthe information.

Then, describe both referredpain and phantom limb pain are and how each isgenerated.?

What is the relationship between density of sensory receptors,size of their receptive fields, area of brain devoted to thosereceptors and acuity of perception? How is this principledemonstrated by the
