Mechanisms and plasticity of cold sensitivity in peripheral neurons

The aim of this thesis was to characterise the molecular mechanisms involved in cold transduction in peripheral neurons. Members of the transient receptor potential (TRP) family of cation channels are currently recognised as the principal transducers of thermal stimuli in sensory neurons, and two ch...
