Restored Bodies?

I was listening to a story about scientist that are studying the concept that the human body sends signals other than our five senses to our brains. An example is that some people who become paralyzed feel less emotion after their paralysis then before their paralysis. The idea is that human existence is rooted in the state of having a body. This is such a fascinating idea when it is compared to the idea of a resurrection. I know that some people who believe in the resurrection do not believe in literal resurrected bodies. But this seems that it would make sense for those who believe in literal bodies. It is like God designed people so that their bodies were an integral part of existence. And so he spoke like they will one day have their bodies restored. Perhaps he had some other reasoning but maybe he spoke this way because he knew that people would care, that people would want restored bodies.
