Sensory pathways are the routes through which sensory information travels from the body to the brain. These pathways consist of neurons that transmit signals related to different senses, such as sight, hearing, touch, taste, and smell. Each sense has its own specific pathway that processes and relays information to the appropriate areas of the brain for interpretation. When a sensory receptor detects a stimulus, it generates an electrical signal that travels along the sensory neurons. This signal is then processed in various brain regions, allowing us to perceive and respond to our environment. Sensory pathways play a crucial role in how we experience the world around us.
