The five basic senses-taste, touch, sight, hearing, smell-were firstdescribed by the Greek philosopher Aristotle over 2000 years ago. Yet on-ly within the past few years have researchers started unlocking the deepestsecrets of our senses and how they work. As part of thid new knowledge.we now recognize senses not known to Aristotle. “For instance.” says Dr.Gordon Shepherd. Yale University professor of neurobiology. “We alsohave a sense of balance, which orients our body in a world of gravity, ofup and down,just as surely as our eyes let us perceive a world with light.”
