What are sensory neural pathways?

Answer 1

The sensory neural pathways set the brain's ability to interpret signals that control intellectual, emotional, psychological and physical responses to stimuli. The sensory systems ie. vision, hearing, touch, taste, smell and proprioceptor motion bring sensory signals to the brain and then interpret those signals. During development there is a critical period for sensory neural circuits. To form what is known as synapses (the connection between neurons that helps to carry these signals from neuron to neuron ), stimuli is needed. When this stimulation is not available in the critical period and deficits occur in the region of the cortex responsible, it can not be corrected at a later stage.

Answer 2

Sensory neural pathways are the routes through which sensory information travels from the peripheral nervous system to the brain. This information is transmitted through a series of neurons and relay centers, eventually reaching the appropriate sensory processing areas in the brain for interpretation. The pathways are organized in a specific manner to ensure efficient and accurate transmission of sensory information.
