Thiazoline-related innate fear stimuli orchestrate hypothermia and anti-hypoxia via sensory TRPA1 activation

Matsuo et al. report that thiazoline-related innate fear-eliciting compounds activate the spinal trigeminal nucleus (Sp5) and the nucleus of the solitary tract (NTS) via vagal/trigeminal TRPA1 to induce robust physiological alterations, enabling long time survival in a lethal hypoxic environment.
