  From  Webster's  Revised  Unabridged  Dictionary  (1913)  [web1913]: 
 
  Sensorium  \Sen*so"ri*um\,  n.;  pl  E.  {Sensoriums},  L. 
  {Sensoria}.  [L.,  fr  sentire,  sensum  to  discern  or  perceive 
  by  the  senses.]  (Physiol.) 
  The  seat  of  sensation;  the  nervous  center  or  centers  to  which 
  impressions  from  the  external  world  must  be  conveyed  before 
  they  can  be  perceived;  the  place  where  external  impressions 
  are  localized,  and  transformed  into  sensations,  prior  to 
  being  reflected  to  other  parts  of  the  organism;  hence  the 
  whole  nervous  system,  when  animated,  so  far  as  it  is 
  susceptible  of  common  or  special  sensations.
