It turns out that a person has a sixth sense, which is not taught at school. According to the Daily Mail, we are talking about a complex process called “interoception”; This process is responsible for maintaining the body’s vital functions.
Unlike the five classical senses, proprioception operates from the inside and is a network of nerve pathways that permeate all vital organs, from the heart to the lungs, from the stomach to the kidneys. This complex process maintains balance in the body.
“Signals from internal organs are widely dispersed, often overlapping, and difficult to isolate and measure. The sensory neurons that transmit these signals penetrate the organ tissue without clear anatomical boundaries,” the researchers explained.
For a long time, the “hidden sixth sense” remained one of the most mysterious areas of neurobiology. But now researchers plan to create the world’s first atlas of interoception and find out exactly how internal organs and the nervous system interact with each other.
Meanwhile, scientists have previously found that an extra 15 minutes of sleep can extend life.
