Different areas of our brain work together to help us understand what we see, hear, and feel.
Primary Sensory Cortices: Each of our senses has its own special area in the brain. For example, the area for seeing is called V1, and the area for touch is called S1. These parts help us notice basic details of what we sense.
Association Areas: These areas of the brain take all the sensory information and mix it together. They help us understand what we see or feel better. For example, they help us recognize someone we know.
Thalamus: This part acts like a train station. It directs sensory information to the right areas in the brain, making sure everything goes where it needs to go.
All these parts work together so we can make sense of the world around us and respond to it quickly.
