sensation
The brain processes the sensory information the body receives. It interprets the signals from the sensory organs such as eyes, ears, skin, and taste buds to make sense of the external environment.
The process by which your sensory receptors receive and process information is called sensation. This process involves detecting external stimuli through the sensory organs and sending this information to the brain for interpretation and perception.
The sensory organs belong to the nervous system. They are responsible for detecting and relaying information about the external environment to the brain for processing and interpretation. This information helps organisms respond to stimuli and adapt to their surroundings.
Sensation involves the activation of sensory receptors by external stimuli, leading to the transmission of information to the brain. It is typically brief and occurs in real time. Sensation is influenced by factors such as the intensity, duration, and modality of the stimulus.
External stimuli from the environment furnish the raw material of sensory experience. This includes information received from the five senses: sight, hearing, touch, taste, and smell. Inputs from the external world are transformed into electrical signals that the brain interprets as sensory experiences.
The thalamus
The central nervous system interprets information received from sensory receptors by processing the sensory input in various regions of the brain. This processing involves analyzing the type, intensity, and location of the stimulus, which allows the brain to generate appropriate responses or perceptions. The brain integrates this sensory information with past experiences and knowledge to create a coherent representation of the external environment.
define the sensory stage
Sensory neurons, also known as afferent neurons, carry information from sensory receptors to the central nervous system (CNS). These neurons transmit information about external stimuli (such as touch, sound, and light) or internal conditions (such as pain or temperature) to the brain and spinal cord.
