HOW MATURE SENSORY SYSTEM ?

The portion of the nervous system responsible for processing input from the environment. Beginning with detection through the transfer of stimuli to the central nervous system, the peripheral nerves and their associated receptors rapidly relay information.

General senses include touch, pain, temperature, proprioception, vibration, and pressure. Special senses include vision, hearing, taste, and smell.

How do senses impact behavior?

The brain processes information from our senses. Based on memories of prior experiences, we determine if we feel calm, tired, alert, anxious, scared, happy, sleepy, distressed, content, angry, furious, loving, disoriented, or relaxed, to name a few developed perceptions.
