Explore the science behind how your body and brain process different sensations like touch, pain, temperature, and spatial awareness. We don t often think of touch as being a vital part of movement, but touch is one part of a network that oversees all the sensations arising from the surface and interior of our bodies. Touch, pain, temperature, and our spatial awareness are regulated by this system. So, how exactly do our brains process these sensations? And what happens when something goes wrong? Antonio Cataldo investigates.

I must admit, I care less for my sense of touch than my other senses. I actually retract from unexpected touch, like someone's hand brushing mine. I do it automatically and it is likely because of my paranoia and history of bullying. Unexpected touch causes a fear, specifically flight, reaction because I don't know if it is a threat or not.

I had a wisdom tooth removed and the surgent hit a nerve. This caused a part of my lower lip to lose its ability to feel pain, pressure, touch, and temperature. I can still move it like normal.
After over a year, I gain some feeling of pain and pressure, but it is very faint.

I took and entire course in philosophy on the concept of touch. It's interesting to note that we don't actually touch things. At the molecular, or atomic, level it's a sensation of electromagnetic interference. Quantum Mechanics comes quickly into the play.

I sometimes can see/hear a fly buzzing around me. I can catch the fly more time out of 10 then I miss it. But if I try to catch the fly I alway miss. It only happens when I don't try to catch it. Like the spur of the moment.

I never knew there was a condition such as touch starvation.
No wonder being an only child with few friends I often crave human touch or social connections after being alone for some time or when im anxious

So cool. By the way, I have difficulty communicating because I had a stroke in Broca s area, the part of the brain that controls speech. 2/8/2021 but I lived again. (My wife helped me compose this)

MOST HUMANS ARE BORN WITH WELL OVER 6 SENSES.
I hate it when I hear footsteps in-game and make a call out. At the round end, someone says some people have 6 senses
BRO SHUT UP I ONLY USED MY EARS

I thought it would be a sense of danger, coz people these days seem to lack this.
But in all seriousness, this is something I thought was just some comic book fiction. It's absolutely crazy.

It's extremely fascinating how such a creature like human who is only created because random chance based reactions and has such complex and highly coordinated system.

I know and I realize how much severe it would be to lose tactile sensation, but just for this moment 2: 42 I wish him to lose his tactile sensation on his left cheek

I highly doubt that he could walk that way.
You know the feeling when your foot goes numb, as soon as you try to take a step you twist it immediately.

reply

As someone who experienced nerve damage after a broken ankle which caused numbness, I can say it s really scary not being able to feel ANYTHING in my foot.
reply

The whole 5 senses thing is a myth, we have many senses: time, temperature, hunger, location of body parts in relation to each other, balance, etc.
reply

You didn't really explain anything properly this is something you can't understand unless you've experienced it and you sir are way off base.
