Sensory neurons are a type of nerve cell that are responsible for transmitting sensory information from the body to the brain. These neurons are specialized to detect various stimuli such as touch, temperature, pain, pressure, and chemicals. They are located throughout the body in sensory organs such as the skin, eyes, ears, nose, and tongue. Sensory neurons play a crucial role in our ability to perceive and react to the world around us, and are essential for functions such as touch, taste, smell, hearing, and vision. Research in the field of sensory neurons aims to better understand how these neurons function, how they transmit information to the brain, and how they are involved in various sensory processes and disorders.
