High impact information on Temperature Sense

This finding suggests that HSF does not sense temperature directly but, instead, may be responsive to the magnitude of the difference between growth and heat shock temperatures [1].
We conclude that Hcrt-2 has excitatory effects on certain SDH neurones, some of which exert inhibitory influences on other cells of the region, consistent with the perspective that hypocretin has a role in orchestrating reactions related to arousal, including nociception, pain and temperature sense [2].
