Detailed explanation-1: -Each sense receptor responds to different inputs (electromagnetic, mechanical, chemical), transmitting them as signals that travel along nerve cells to the brain. The signals are then processed in the brain, resulting in immediate behaviors or memories.
Detailed explanation-2: -The parietal lobe is separated from the occipital lobe by the parieto-occipital sulcus and is behind the central sulcus. It is responsible for processing sensory information and contains the somatosensory cortex.
Detailed explanation-3: -From the resulting pattern of neural activity the brain derives details of sight, sound, smell, and other sensations.
Detailed explanation-4: -All impulses from the receptors transmit as nerve signals and what ultimately determines how we perceive the stimulus is where the nerve fiber terminates in the central nervous system.
Detailed explanation-5: -Introduction. The cortex contains a multitude of representations of sensory information that are anatomically segregated by sensory modality (e.g., somatosensory vs. auditory), and by specialty within a modality (e.g., visual motion vs. visual form).
