Join us as we explore the interplay between feed forward and feedback in the somatosensory system. Learn how this impacts our ability to perform skilled movements and how our brain prepares for the next action. Find out how inhibition plays a crucial role in allowing us to venture forward in novel experiences. Check out DFX's learning journeys to build your clinicalreasoning skills with Tracy --> https://dfxlearningjourneys.thinkific.com/ Full transcription of our episode is available on ourwebsite.  Timestamps:0:00:00 Introduction and revisiting the topic of praxis0:01:28 Difficulty of replicating human praxis in robots0:02:48 Somatosensory basis of dyspraxia0:05:01 Importance of enhancing somatosensation, movement, and vision0:05:41 The dynamic and solidified body map of the homunculus0:06:25 Purpose of somatosensory processing and sensory integrative processing0:07:49 Treating the whole, not just practicing the end products0:08:12 Understanding the homunculus and its dynamic nature0:10:04 Feed forward and feedback happening simultaneously0:11:35 Interplay between feed forward and feedback happening simultaneously in the brain0:12:22 Peripheral receptors learning in the neural network0:13:03 Neurodevelopmental changes in the peripheral and central nervous system0:13:45 Preparing the body for the next activity0:14:44 Sensitization of peripheral receptors in response to unexpected events0:16:12 Pre-emptive preparation of the brain in eye movement control0:17:19 Interplay between somatosensory, vestibular, and visual systems in response to uneven surfaces0:17:50 Importance of somatosensation as a perceptual layer that supports skilfulness0:18:58 The interplay between modulation and discrimination processing in novel experiences0:20:40 Treating the modulation issue to clear the slate for discrimination to become relevant0:21:57 Co-regulation through touch in discrimination processing0:22:25 The spreading activation of the homunculus enriching the body map0:23:10 The nervous system drawing somatosensory information to create inhibition and engagement0:23:41 The somatosensory system as the primary inhibitory system0:24:26 The whole process being somatosensory dependent0:24:42 The valence and tipping in the somatosensory system0:25:21 The role of the social engagement secretary in somatosensory modulation0:27:01 Co-regulation and the importance of a partner in somatosensory experiences0:29:20 The impact of not meeting a child's somatosensory needs on adaptation and efficiency0:29:54 The power of OT observations in shifting perceptions and supporting children's sensory needs0:34:20 The importance of separating modulation from discrimination in clinical reasoning for effective intervention0:34:54 The interplay between modulation, discrimination, cognition, and executive function in treatment. Connect with us: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/spiritedconversations_ot/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/spiritedconversationsOTYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@spiritedconversations_OTWebsite: https://www.spiritedconversationspodcast.com/ Loved this episode and want an easy cost free way to support us?Subscribe to our youtube channel!
