Abstract

Primary afferent neurons (PANs) provide an organism interface with the environment by conveying to the CNS information about temperature, mechanical and other challenges. Temperature perception is of interest as the underlying mechanisms remain largely unknown because of restrictions of biomedical experiments. Computer models provide a complementary tool to overcome some restrictions. We combined experimental and simulation studies to disclose biophysical mechanisms, by which thermosensitive PANs convert temperatures into generator potentials and the action potential (AP) firing.
