law of specific nerve energies


Mül·ler law

(mūl'ĕr), each sensory receptor organ and its nerve fiber receive and transmit just one modality of sensation, regardless of how it is stimulated; moreover, each type of sensation depends not on any special character of the different sensory nerves, but instead on the part of the brain in which their impulses terminate. Synonym(s): law of specific nerve energies
