Abstract

In this issue of Neuron, Paricio-Montesinos et al. (2020) unveil the essential cellular elements for warm temperature detection in mice. Surprisingly, the silencing of spontaneously firing, unmyelinated, polymodal sensory afferents harboring cold-activated TRPM8 channels is the key neural mechanism.
