The sensitive nervous system is a part of the nervous system responsible for recycling sensitive information. A sensitive system consists of sensitive neurons (including the sensitive receptor cells), neural pathways, and corridor of the brain involved in sensitive perception [1]. Generally honored sensitive systems are those for vision, hail, touch, taste, smell, and balance. Senses are transducers from the physical world to the realm of the mind where people interpret the information, creating their perception of the world around them.

The open field is the area of the body or terrain to which a receptor organ and receptor cells respond. For case, the part of the world an eye can see is its open field; the light that each rod or cone can see, is its open field. Open fields have been linked for the visual system, audile system and somatosensory system.

Sensory cortex

All stimulants entered by the receptors listed over are transduced to an action eventuality, which is carried along one or further sensational neurons towards a specific area of the brain. While the term sensitive cortex is frequently used informally to relate to the somatosensory cortex, the term more directly refers to the multiple areas of the brain at which senses are entered to be reused [2]. For the five traditional senses in humans, this includes the primary and secondary cortices of the different senses the somatosensory cortex, the visual cortex, the audile cortex, the primary olfactory cortex, and the gustatory cortex. Other modalities have corresponding sensitive cortex areas as well, including the vestibular cortex for the sense of balance.

Somatosensory cortex

Located in the parietal lobe, the primary somatosensory cortex is the primary open area for the sense of touch and proprioception in the somatosensory system [3]. This cortex is further divided into Brodmann areas 1, 2, and 3. Brodmann area 3 is considered the primary processing center of the somatosensory cortex as it receives significantly further input from the thalamus, has neurons largely responsive to somatosensory stimulants, and can elicit physical sensations through electrical stimulation. Areas 1 and 2 admit utmost of their input from area 3. There are also pathways for proprioception (via the cerebellum), and motor control (via Brodmann area 4). See also S2 Secondary somatosensory cortex.

Visual cortex: The visual cortex refers to the primary visual cortex, labelled V1 or Brodmann area 17, as well as the extrastriate visual cortical areas V2-V5. Located in the occipital lobe, V1 acts as the primary relay station for visual input, transmitting information to two primary pathways labelled the rearward and frontal aqueducts. The rearward sluice includes areas V2 and V5, and is used in interpreting visual ‘where’ and ‘how [4]. ‘The frontal sluice includes areas V2 and V4, and is used in interpreting ‘what. ‘Increases in Task-negative exertion are observed in the frontal attention network, after abrupt changes in sensitive stimulants, at the onset and neutralize of task blocks, and at the end of a completed trial.

Nose: Located in the temporal lobe, the primary olfactory cortex is the primary open area for olfaction, or smell. Unique to the olfactory and gustatory systems, at least in mammals, is the perpetration of both supplemental and central mechanisms of action. The supplemental mechanisms involve olfactory receptor neurons which transduce a chemical signal along the olfactory whim-whams, which terminates in the olfactory bulb. The chemoreceptors in the receptor neurons that start the signal waterfall are G protein- coupled receptors [5]. The central mechanisms include the confluence of olfactory whim-whams axons into glomeruli in the olfactory bulb, where the signal is also transmitted to the anterior olfactory nexus, the piriform cortex, the medium amygdala, and the entorhinal cortex, all of which make up the primary olfactory cortex.

In discrepancy to vision and hail, the olfactory bulbs aren’t crosshemispheric; the right bulb connects to the right semicircle and the left bulb connects to the left semicircle.
