Abstract
Heat and cold transduction by peripheral sensory neurons is a fundamental step in the avoidance of dangerous thermal extremes. In this issue of Neuron, Dhaka et al. and Colburn et al. report that mice lacking the cold- and menthol-gated ion channel TRPM8 exhibit deficient behavioral responses to cold temperatures.
