Genjutsu is basically tampering the chakra network connected to the brain making us see hallucination and control the network in such a way as to control the person. The main focus of the genjutsu is tampering with the mind's chakra system. The senses getting dulled comes as a secondary effect. At least that's how it's been stated so far about genjutsu.
