We generally use responsible for.

The Central nervous system is responsible for the receiving signals from the Peripheral nervous system.

By the way, there's a little mistake in your example. Perhaps separate the for and the the:

The Central nervous system is responsible for receiving the signals from the Peripheral nervous system.

Or remove the the:

The Central nervous system is responsible for receiving signals from the Peripheral nervous system.
