How we perceive the world around us has been one of the
greatest mysteries of the human world. How we see, how we hear, how we
smell.
We still did not understand how our nervous
system senses and interprets information from our environment in how
temperature and mechanical stimuli (For example, if something brushes
against us, such as a hair or something else) are converted to
electrical impulses in our nervous system.
Joint Nobel prize winners Julius and Patapoutian further advanced our understanding of the sense of touch.
