Definition:Anatomical system that overlaps the nervous system and is responsible for receiving and processing sensory information.
Comment:[homology-note] "An early step in the evolution of neural crest, therefore, may have been the origin of a specific dorsal neural cell population contributing to sensory processing; this would predate the divergence of the amphioxus and vertebrate lineages.[well established][VHOG]" xsd:string {date_retrieved="2012-09-17", external_class="VHOG:0001674", ontology="VHOG", source="DOI:10.1073/pnas.97.9.4449 Shimeld SM and Holland PW. Vertebrate innovations. PNAS (2000)", source="http://bgee.unil.ch/"}
