The fore-brain receives sensory impulses from various receptors, and separate areas are specialized for hearing, smell, sight, and other senses.
How does the fore-brain receive sensory information, and what are the specialized regions for different senses?

The forebrain processes sensory information through its specialized regions. The primary sensory areas include the visual cortex in the occipital lobe for sight, the auditory cortex in the temporal lobe for hearing, the somatosensory cortex in the parietal lobe for touch, and the olfactory and gustatory regions for smell and taste. These areas receive input from sensory organs and interpret signals, allowing the brain to construct a cohesive perception of the environment. The integration of these senses occurs in higher-order association areas within the forebrain, contributing to complex cognitive functions and a comprehensive sensory experience.
