The Somatic Nervous System (SNS) is responsible for:

Controls important cognitive skills, like emotional expression, problem solving, memory, language, judgment, and sexual behavior. "Control panel" of our personality and our ability to communicate.

In charge of processing sensory input into derived meanings for appropriate retention of visual memory, language comprehension and association of emotion.

Processes sensory information it receives from the outside world, mainly related to touch, taste and temperature.

The visual processing area of the brain. Associated with visuospatial processing, distance and depth perception, color determination, object and face recognition and memory formation.

This subdivision of the PNS is responsible for the "rest and digest" state of being.
