The function of sensory neurons is to transmit sensory information from sensory receptors to the central nervous system (CNS). These neurons are specialized to detect various stimuli, such as light, sound, taste, and touch, converting them into electrical signals that can be processed by the brain. They play a critical role in our ability to perceive and respond to the environment. Sensory neurons are part of the peripheral nervous system and include different types adapted to specific senses. Proper functioning of sensory neurons is essential for maintaining sensory processing and overall awareness of surroundings.
