🔥🔥How does skin sense temperature?❄️❄️

Check out our latest work (@bokiniec & JFAP) to find out!

TL;DR - both warm and cool are encoded in the same cells by a single channel! How? -->

Bidirectionally responsive thermoreceptors encode cool and warm biorxiv.org/content/10.110…
www.biorxiv.org Bidirectionally responsive thermoreceptors encode cool and warm Thermal sensation is a fundamental sense initiated by the activity of primary afferent thermoreceptors. While considerable attention has been paid to the encoding of noxious temperatures by thermor...

The spatial representation of temperature in the thalamus biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Check out our latest work mapping the thalamic representation of temperature!

TLDR: Two distinct thalamic pathways for temperature - each required for thermal perception!!
www.biorxiv.org The spatial representation of temperature in the thalamus Although distinct thalamic nuclei encode sensory information for almost all sensory modalities, the existence of a thalamic representation of temperature is debated and the role of the thalamus in...
