Sight: Sight is processed by the visual cortex.Smell: Smell is a function of the olfactory system.Touch: Touch mostly occurs in the parietal lobe in the cerebral cortex.Taste: Taste ins understood by the brain through 3 different never bundles; the facial nerve, the glossopharyngeal nerve, and the vagus nerve.Hearing: Hearing is primarily a function of the temporal lobe.
temporal lobe
Frontal Lobe and Parietal Lobes
The eyes gather the information sending it to the Optical Nerve and after that it is transmitted to the brain, the brain separates it and sends it to its different parts that are the Frontal Lobe, Parental Lobe, Temporal Lobe and Occipital Lobe. After that every lobe will be in charge of transmitting the information according to the fuction of each lobe

The Olfactory bulb via the olfactory nerves in the nose.
Primary somasthetic afferent neurons are found taste buds in the anterior 2/3rds of the tongue. Those fibers are carried towards the midbrain by the Chorda Tympani nerve (those are joint fibers from the lingual branch of the mandibular division of the Trigeminal nerve), which enters the tympanic cavity via the iter chorda posticus and exits thru the iter chorda anticus or the petrotympanic fissure. The nerve synapses with in the geniculate gangion of the VII cranial nerve. The secondary sensory neurons now travel through to the midbrain where they synaps with Nucleus tractus Solitarious. The tertiary fibers then go to parietal operculum of the parietal lobe (brodman area #43) the ultimate level of concious interperation of gustatory (taste) impressions.
