Do nerve endings closer to the brain / spinal cord take less time to transmit signals because there is less distance to travel?

On a related note, do different nerves or nerve endings have greatly different reaction times or time taken to transmit signals irrespective of the distance the signal must travel back to the brain / spinal cord?  Is sensitivity of any kind (olfatory, visual, tactile) a measurable paramter between different humans?  What affects the magnitude of sensory input required for a person to detect a new stimulus?

Yes, it takes longer for information from your toe for example to reach your brain that information from your eye. Your brain actually synchronizes all those inputs and so there's a delay for you and the information which got to your brain first has to "wait" to get synced with the one which got there last. You're always living slightly in the past.
