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.

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 ...

A brief history of Thermosense [PDF]
Thermosense: Thermal Infrared Applications XL, 2018 The first Thermosense Conference held at the Chattanooga Choo-Choo Hotel in 1978 was in response to the “Carter Energy Crisis”. There were three sessions with a total of fifteen papers presented. The sessions all dealt with IR thermography with the first devoted to building heat loss, the second giving case studies and the third devoted to progress ...

Fabrication of Microbolometer Arrays Based on Polymorphous Silicon–Germanium
Sensors, 2020 This work reports the development of arrays of infrared sensors (microbolometers) using a hydrogenated polymorphous silicon–germanium alloy (pm-SixGe1-x:H). Basically, polymorphous semiconductors consist of an amorphous semiconductor matrix with embedded

Tackling thermosensation with multidimensional phenotyping [PDF]
BMC Biology, 2012 Most if not all animals sense temperature using specialized thermosensory neurons. Genetic studies in simple organisms have been used to identify gene products required for detecting temperature changes or for mediating the effects of temperature on behaviour.
