How do signals from the receptor cells get to the brain?

Signals from receptor cells are transmitted to the brain through a series of neural pathways. When a receptor cell detects a stimulus, it generates an electrical impulse, or action potential, which travels along sensory neurons. These neurons carry the signals to the spinal cord and then to the brain, where they are processed in specific areas corresponding to the type of sensory information received (e.g., visual, auditory, or tactile). This processing allows the brain to interpret and respond to the stimuli.
