What are the 5 sensory systems and how do they work in cell signalling?

[biochemist]

I'm writing an essay on comparing 5 sensory systems, and have been looking at the chapter of sensory systems in Stryer's "biochemistry" textbook.

It is really confusing me because I've just seen a "totally unknown" on hearing and touch , and i want to look at journals on the 5 senses.

Could anyone give me a clue on which journal i shall read, and also give me a outline of the cell signalling process of these 5 senses? Thanks!

Journals do generally not give you a good overview, but are aimed at new findings. You can better try to find a good book, like this one:
