Touch -> Receptor to Dorsal Root nerve pathway synapsing at the Medulla, crossing over to contralateral lobe at the Medial Lemniscis, synapse at the Thalamus and enter the primary somatosensory cortex to the touch homonculi.

Gustatory -> Taste bud containing papillia to cranial nerves VII(facial), IX(Glossopharingial), and X(vagus) to medulla, thalamus, and gustatory cortexes

Olfactory -> Cribiform plate through to Olfactory bulb, through the piriform cortex to the amygdala, then diffusing into the limbic system and through the thalamus to the primary olfactory cortex

Auditory -> Pinna to ossicles to cochlea to auditory nerve (via organ of corti outer cilia) (nerve VIII branch) to superior olives to inferior colliculus through the thalamus to the primary auditory corex (core) and diffusing anteriorly to the prefrontal cortex for identification and posteriorly ti the temporal lobe for location

Vision -> Retina hyperpolerization stimulates bipolar and ganglion cells through the optic nerve, crossing over both left halves together and both right halves together contralaterally at the optic chasm, into the LGN (rods to interior magnocellular layers and cones to exterior parvocellular layers) before transfering to the primary visual cortex

55 minutes until I am kicking exam ass!~
