How does your brain know when you touch something… or feel pain?
In this Kenhub video, explore the somatosensory pathways that carry sensory information from the body to the brain.
In this lesson you’ll learn:
👆 How sensory receptors detect stimuli
🧠 The role of the spinal cord and ascending tracts
📍 The posterior column–medial lemniscus pathway
⚡ The spinothalamic tracts for pain and temperature
🔗 First, second, and third order neurons

How do neurons pass information to each other? The answer lies in synapses 🔗
In this Kenhub video, explore the junctions where neurons communicate and learn how signals move from one cell to the next.
In this lesson you’ll discover:
🧠 What synapses are and how they work
🧬 Different types of neuroreceptors
⚡ How synaptic transmission occurs
➕ How neurons combine signals through summation
👉 Watch the full video on Kenhub and understand how neurons communicate!
How do neurons send signals across the nervous system? It all starts with the action potential ⚡
In this Kenhub video, learn how electrical signals are generated and propagated along neurons to transmit information throughout the body.
In this lesson you’ll explore:
🔋 The step-by-step phases of an action potential
🧠 How depolarization and repolarization work
⚡ How signals travel along axons
🏃 Continuous vs. saltatory conduction
👉 Watch the full video on Kenhub and master the fundamentals of neuronal signaling!
How does your body detect touch, light, pressure, temperature, and pain?
In this Kenhub video, explore sensory receptors—specialized cells that allow your nervous system to detect and interpret stimuli from the environment and your own body.
👆 Structural & functional receptor classifications
🧠 Key receptors like mechanoreceptors, photoreceptors & nociceptors
🌡️ How stimuli become nerve signals (receptor potentials)
⚡ Concepts like summation, adaptation & the labeled line principle
