PY - 2017 T2 - Clinical Neurology, 10e AB - In order to interpret the history and clinical signs of patients with disorders of somatic sensation, the functional anatomy of the sensory components of the nervous system must be understood. As used here, somatic sensation refers to the sensations of touch or pressure, vibration, joint position, pain, and temperature, and to more complex functions that rely on these primary sensory modalities (eg, two-point discrimination, stereognosis, graphesthesia); it excludes special senses such as smell, vision, taste, and hearing.
