Pathway of the Epicritic Sensibility (A-C) The nerve fibers transmitting impulses
for the senses of touch, vibration, and joints originate from neurons of the spinal
ganglia (A1 ), while the fibers for face and sinuses stem from neurons of the ...
Subsequent investigators have wholly rejected the theory, and in so doing they
have almost wholly rejected the facts: so much so, that 'protopathic' and 'epicritic'
are almost verba non grata in present-day physiology. Yet the facts remain.

affected by species-specific information. Moreover, this system emphasizes
temporal and ...

The spatially and temporally precise perception of light tactile. noxious. and
temperature stimuli is called epicritic sensation. and the more diffuse perception
of stronger tactile. noxious. and temperature stimuli is called protopathic
sensation.
