Another defining characteristic of the somatosensory system is its ecological versatility with the ability to detect and process information about a wide range of tactile disturbances (for example, temperature, pain, itching, easily. How does the signal go from brain to skin? Various tactile receptors are attached to many types of nerves. Most receptors use fiber A beta to transmit their signals - they very quickly transmit information.
In the brain we receive all types of impulses/information coming from different parts of the body being processed and integrated in the sensory cortex. Signals can be classified by the nature of the receptors (pain, temperature, etc.).” We use information from the sense of touch to tell us about the world
