    Primo-senso-cortexatron, named SENSO for short, lives and protects the area in front of the parietal lobes, near his good friend the master of all things motor. He is closely knit with passion and love hence his red skin color. SENSO hears, feels, and records incoming and touch-related sensations all through his muscular physique, large ears, large nose, and mouth. Although he looks like a toughy, SENSO allows the citizens of Brainyville to psychically feel, by receiving messages from the outer world surrounding Brainyville, he is actually a huge softy! When SENSO is stimulated on the top of his head, he sends off a message and allows for the feeling of a touch of a shoulder to be felt. When SENSO is stimulated on his side, he sends off a different message and allows for a touch on the face to be felt. SENSO takes care of the more sensitive areas too. The feeling of a kiss stimulates a larger part of SENSO’s body because it’s a more sensitive area. SENSO makes the world a better place and aims to protect the physical feelings of those in Brainyville.…
