Injury Threshold of Oral Contact with Hot Foods and Method for Its Sensory Evaluation
Safety, 2018 Epidemiological studies indicate an increased risk of esophageal cancer from the consumption of very hot foods and beverages. The contact time and the contact temperature are decisive for the risk of injury.

TREKing noxious thermosensation [PDF]
The EMBO Journal, 2009 The ability to sense environmental temperature as pleasant or unpleasant is associated with the activity of thermo‐sensitive neurons in the peripheral nervous system. Differential sensation of pleasant environmental temperatures (warm and cool) versus unpleasant and noxious (cold and hot) temperatures requires the definition of thresholds and ...

The Cellular Code for Mammalian Thermosensation [PDF]
The Journal of Neuroscience, 2013 Mammalian somatosenory neurons respond to thermal stimuli and allow animals to reliably discriminate hot from cold and to select their preferred environments. Previously, we generated mice that are completely insensitive to temperatures from noxious cold to painful heat (−5 to 55°C) by ablating several different classes of nociceptor early in ...

The Ionotropic Receptors IR21a and IR25a mediate cool sensing in Drosophila
eLife, 2016 Animals rely on highly sensitive thermoreceptors to seek out optimal temperatures, but the molecular mechanisms of thermosensing are not well understood.

Sex difference in thermal preference of adult mice does not depend on presence of the gonads
Biology of Sex Differences, 2017 Background The thermoneutral zone (TNZ) is a species-specific range of ambient temperature (T a), at which mammals can maintain a constant body temperature with the lowest metabolic rate. The TNZ for an adult mouse is between 26 and 34 °C. Interestingly,

TRPV3 in skin thermosensation and temperature responses. [PDF]
J Physiol SciHuman skin, as a sophisticated sensory organ, is able to detect subtle changes in ambient temperature. This thermosensory capability is primarily mediated by temperature-sensitive TRP channels expressed in both sensory neurons and keratinocytes. Among these, TRPV3, which responds to warm temperatures and plays a crucial role in various skin functions ...

Thermosensation: Some like it hot [PDF]
Current Biology, 1995 The ability of organisms to respond to fluctuating temperatures is ubiquitous but poorly understood. Recent studies of nematodes reveal specific sensory neurons and interneurons that mediate thermotaxis.

A Systematic Review of Thermosensation and Thermoregulation in Anxiety Disorders [PDF]
Frontiers in Physiology, 2021 Graphical AbstractThis systematic review sought to summarise studies comparing thermosensory and thermoregulatory functioning between individuals with anxiety disorders and healthy controls. Its main findings are summarised on the right side.

Molecular Processes in Biological Thermosensation [PDF]
Journal of Biophysics, 2008 Since thermal gradients are almost everywhere, thermosensation could represent one of the oldest sensory transduction processes that evolved in organisms. There are many examples of temperature changes affecting the physiology of living cells. Almost all classes of biological macromolecules in a cell (nucleic acids, lipids, proteins) can present a ...
