Examples of receptive field in the following topics:
-
- Four key types of mechanoreceptor have been described based on their response to stimulation and receptive field.
- The receptive field—the region in which a receptor can sense an effect—can vary from small to large.
- It demonstrates a rapid response and has a small receptive field; it is useful for detecting texture or movement of objects against the skin.
- It demonstrates a slow response and has a large receptive field; it is good for detecting steady pressure or stretching, such as during the movement of a joint.
- It demonstrates a fast response and has a large receptive field; it is useful for detecting large changes in the environment, such as vibrations.
-
- Furthermore, each has a different receptive field:
-
- The idea
of the cortical homunculus was created by Wilder Penfield and serves as a rough
map of the receptive fields for regions of primary somatosensory cortex.

- Examples of well-known aphasia subtypes are Broca's aphasia, also called expressive aphasia, and Wernicke's aphasia, also called receptive aphasia.
- In contrast to expressive aphasia, damage to the temporal lobe may result in a fluent aphasia that is called receptive aphasia (also known as sensory aphasia and Wernicke's aphasia).
- Individuals with receptive aphasia may speak in long sentences that have no meaning, add unnecessary words, and even create new "words" (neologisms).
- For example, someone with receptive aphasia may say, "You know that smoodle pinkered and that I want to get him round and take care of him like you want before", meaning, "The dog needs to go out so I will take him for a walk".
-
- Language abilities are
localized in the left hemisphere in Broca's area for language expression and Wernicke's
area for language reception.
- The processes of language expression and reception occur in areas other than just the perisylvian structures such as the prefrontal lobe, basal ganglia, cerebellum, pons, caudate nucleus, and others.
-
- The dendrites are short, tapering extensions that are the receptive regions and help in conveying incoming messages towards the cell body.
-
- Dendrites convey incoming messages towards the cell body and are therefore called the receptive input region.
-
- Severe head trauma and other brain injuries can instigate autonomic dysreflexia at the central nervous system by interfering with the reception of the signal that brings the urge to void the bladder and bowels and with the voluntary ability to micturate and defecate.

- Progesterone plays a vital role in making the endometrium receptive to implantation of the blastocyst and supportive of the early pregnancy.

- Progesterone plays a vital role in making the endometrium receptive to implantation of the blastocyst and supportive of the early pregnancy; it also raises the woman's basal body temperature.
