Sirius is around 8.5 light years away. Voyager 1 has been aimed along a path which will take it in the general direction of Sirius and I seem to recall that the estimated journey time is in the order of 300,000 years. Philip B Â· 1 year ago.
â¢ The parietal lobe processes sensory information from the whole bodyâfor example, information about pain, touch, and pressure. â¢ The occipital lobe processes visual information coming into the brain. â¢ The temporal lobe is in charge of making sense of the auditory information from the environment.
The somatosensory cortex receives all sensory input from the body. Cells that are part of the brain or nerves that extend into the body are called neurons. Neurons that sense feelings in our skin, pain, visual, or auditory stimuli, all send their information to the somatosensory cortex for processing.cientists have mapped out which part of the somatosensory cortex processes information from which part of the body. This map is called the homunculus and is important to understanding how sensory information is processed. To unlock this lesson you must be a Study.com Member.
