| | Enzymes & Sensory Integration |
 | | Sensory integration is the process of the body compiling all of the external stimuli and signals from the environment, analyzing it, organizing it, and integrating it. | | | Specialists have specific training in sensory integration therapy, and this usually is in the realm of an occupational therapist (OT). | | | With sensory integration dysfunction, one’s nervous system is not able to properly sort out and make sense of all the sensory input that the senses are taking in. |

| | Sensory Integrative Treatment was developed out of the extensive research of A. Jean Ayres, an occupational therapist with a strong interest in the sensory systems and sensory integrative dysfunction (Ayres 1964; Ayres 1965; Ayres 1966; Ayres 1972). | | | Sensory integration is a term used to describe the way in which the brain sorts out and organizes for our use the many sensations which we receive. | | | The construct underlying tactile defensiveness may be clinically generalized to other sensory systems, leading to a broader construct of sensory defensiveness. |

| | Sensory integration is an innate neurobiological process and refers to the integration and interpretation of sensory stimulation from the environment by the brain. | | | In contrast, sensory integrative dysfunction is a disorder in which sensory input is not integrated or organized appropriately in the brain and may produce varying degrees of problems in development, information processing, and behavior. | | | Evaluation and treatment of basic sensory integrative processes is performed by occupational therapists and/or physical therapists. |

| | The Somatic Sensory System |
| | All sensory systems are organized in more or less the same way, so I'll first introduce some general principles of how the sensory nervous system works and then focus on the kinds of sensation that are detected by the somatic sensory (or somatosensory) system. | | | This topological segregation of sensory neurons according to where they originate in the body is maintained through several synapses all the way up the spinal cord to the cerebral cortex of the brain. | | | If you recall our earlier discussions, sensory neurons are distributed throughout the body, but in vertebrates most have their cell body in clusters along the spinal cord called dorsal root ganglia, and whose axons enter the spinal cord in axon bundles called dorsal roots. |

| | Jean Ayres emphasized the importance of the vestibular system in the inter-relatedness of the senses. | | | The tactile system, our sense of touch, is a sensory system that develops very early and therefore has the opportunity to influence the developing brain. | | | This is important for the therapist to distinguish, because when therapy starts to “open up” the sensory systems of such children, they may appear to have swung to the other extreme. |

| | The parasympathetic nervous system, on the other hand, is evident when a person is resting and feels relaxed, and is responsible for such things as the constriction of the pupil, the slowing of the heart, the dilation of the blood vessels, and the stimulation of the digestive and geniturinary systems. | | | The peripheral nervous system can also be roughly seen as consisting of sensory pathways and motor pathways, the latter being divided into the somatic (voluntary) nervous system and the autonomic nervous system. | | | The nervous system of an animal coordinates the activity of the muscles, monitors the organs, constructs and processes input from the senses, and initiates actions. |

| | OT Outcomes - Neurological Systems That Support Sensory Processing |
| | Sensory information is constantly coming into our bodies through our five senses, as well as internally, through our muscles, joints and movement receptors (in the inner ear). | | | The Proprioceptive System is part of the vestibular system, where special receptors in muscles and joints travel quickly from the cerebellum to enhance tone and joint stability. | | | The sensory systems serve as the foundation for all self-awareness, motor skill, relational abilities, communication and learning - one's human occupation throughout the lifespan. |

| | This sensory system permits humans to recognize some 9,000 different odors. Humans are surrounded by air containing many diverse odorant molecules, yet our perception selects only one which attracts or distracts us. | | | Sniffing the air rapidly increases the transport of the odorant chemicals to the olfactory system. | | | In response to ion conductance, a receptor potential is generated at the coronal end of the olfactory neuron In response to this receptor potential, an action potential is generated and propagated toward the basal portion of the sensory neuron. |
