Your Sixth Sense

We’ve all heard that old line about how we have five senses:

sight, sound, smell, taste, and touch.

That’s been truth since the ancient Greeks and Aristotle.

Our sensory systems are important for helping us navigate the world around us.

But wait one minute! What if I told you that you’ve got a secret superpower?

Like Spiderman, you have a sixth sense - your sense of *proprioception*.

The word “proprioception” comes from Latin words that translate to “one’s own grasp”.

Proprioception is your sense of the relative positions of your body parts

and the effort being put into movement. It’s how I know that my hand is just over here

to my left, even though I’m not looking at it, and how I can feel the effort of pulling

this weed out of the ground.

When I put it that way, it probably seems obvious that you have this sense, right?

How else would you be able to catch a ball when it’s tossed to you, and know exactly

how much effort your catch would take? But it turns out that this is a pretty complex

sensory system, and we’re still learning how it works!

It all began in 1906 with a man named Charles Scott Sherrington.

He introduced the idea of a “proprioceptor”, something inside you that would take information

about the movement of your body from muscles, tendons, and joints, and send it to your brain.

Scientists were so excited about the idea that they began a hunt for that structure.

This led to scientists discovering muscle spindles.

Muscle spindles are specialized nerve endings found
