Any other senses?
Temperature
Thermo-ception is the sense of heat and its absence (cold) by the skin and its internal passages. There are specialized receptors for declining temperature and heat.
Heat receptors are sensitive to IR radiation. The thermo-ceptors in the skin are quite different from the homeostatic thermo-ceptors in the hypothalamus which provide feedback on internal body temperature.
Kinesthetic sense
Kinesthetic sense provides the parietal cortex of the brain with information on the relative positions of the parts of the body, like touching your fingertip to your nose.
Kinestatic sense and touch are related in subtle ways, and their impairment leads to deficits in perception and action.
Pain
Noci-ception or physiological pain signals damage to tissue. The 3 types of pain receptors are cutaneous (skin), somatic (joints and bones) and visceral (body organs). Research indicated that pain is a distinct phenomenon that intertwines with all of the other senses. Recent studies show that pain is registered in the anterior cingulate gyrus area of the brain.
