We don't often think of touch as being a vital part of movement, but touch is one part of a network that oversees all the sensations arising from the surface and interior of our bodies. Touch, pain, temperature, and our spatial awareness are regulated by this system. So, how exactly do our brains process these sensations? And what happens when something goes wrong? Antonio Cataldo investigates. [Directed by Yuriy Polyashko, Darvideo Animation Studio, narrated by Addison Anderson, music by Orchestralis].
