This project explores how humans perceive wetness through the integration of thermotactile signals in the brain, despite lacking specific receptors for moisture. By studying mice, the research aims to uncover the neural mechanisms behind wetness sensations, contributing to our understanding of sensory processing.
Perception depends on the representation of external information in the cortex.
This information enters the nervous system thanks to receptor proteins in your sensory neurons.
These receptors transform external energy into neural activity.
It follows that, if you do not have receptors sensitive to an environmental property, you cannot perceive such property.
For example, humans are not able to sense electric fields, whereas some fish can because they have electroreceptors.A sense required for su…
