sensation
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.
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.
