Sensory information arriving at the CNS is routed according to the nature and location of the stimulus. Along sensory pathways, axons relay information from point A (the receptor) to point B (a neuron at a specific point in the cerebral cortex). This connection between a receptor and a cortical neuron is called a labeled line, and carries information concerning a specific sensation from receptors in a specific region of the body.
