Chilling Findings: Scientists Shed Light on How the Brain Perceives Temperature

New research highlights the critical role of TRPM8 receptors in the mouth for perceiving cooling sensations and distinguishing them from warmth. By studying mice with and without these receptors, the team found that TRPM8 is essential for the brain to correctly interpret temperatures, influencing future studies on taste, eating preferences, and the broader understanding of temperature sensing in health.
