The Other Senses

Vision and hearing get most of the attention. But the brain gets news from more than eyes and ears. Taste, smell, touch, pain, and balance each start with their own receptors. Each takes its own path to the brain. Pick a sense to see how its signal is built. Then use the Try it panel to test a real finding about that sense.
