Describe the pathways sensory signals take from the sense organ to the brain, noting any key processing that occurs at different points in the pathway and relating this to our perception of the stimulus

The first step in this process is to learn how the nervous system is organised, in terms of the cells and structures that it contains.

The critical feature of the model is the dissociation between these two processes, both behaviourally and physiologically, and that the incentive salience, or ‘wanting’ is sensitised over repeated drug taking, so increasing the driving force to take drugs, whereas the hedonic impact, or ‘liking…

When sodium channels close, the permeability to Na+ decreases again and, as the membrane is now more permeable to K + than Na + , the membrane potential will again become more negative, returning to the resting membrane potential.
