I mean, you stub your toe, some sort of electric signal goes to spine/brain, right? But if it’s an electric signal, does it carry **specific data** to tell brain which body part got hurt? How does that work?

It’s directly wired. It’s not 1 wire, it’s a bunch of them. Each wire is connected to different regions. So when you stub your toe, the nerves that signal damage in the toe trigger. This stimulates the parts of the brain responsible for detecting damage in the toe. You interpreted this as pain in your toe.
