Nerves can detect pressure, temperature, light (eyes), sound, friction- at least. Does each sensation have its own neurotransmitter? I'm only a little familiar with neurotransmitters. This page pretty well sums up what I know about neurotransmitters.So it seems like its a combination of neurotransmitters that flow from any single perception area.
Are there specific neurotransmitters for specific sensations?

No. For example, the neurotransmitter at the first stage of auditory processing (the inner hair cell VII cranial nerve synapse) and visual processing (rod and cone synapses with a bipolar cells) is glutamate.
