@WhitmireCJ what started off as a cool idea during covid sparked a great body of work as well as lasting collaboration and friendship. Glad to be continuing the journey at @QldBrainInst with @WhitmireCJ

🔥🔥How does skin sense temperature?❄️❄️ Check out our latest work (@bokiniec & JFAP) to find out! TL;DR - both warm and cool are encoded in the same cells by a single channel! How? --> Bidirectionally responsive thermoreceptors encode cool and warm biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Was that a mosquito? 🦟🦟🦟 Well, you better consider the probability of mozzies in your current environment! Go check out my PhD project finally summarized in a preprint: biorxiv.org/content/10.110… #somatosensoryperception #expectations #previouschoice #oscillations #MNEPython

@WhitmireCJ Great work from a great team of researchers!

The spatial representation of temperature in the thalamus biorxiv.org/content/10.110… Check out our latest work mapping the thalamic representation of temperature! TLDR: Two distinct thalamic pathways for temperature - each required for thermal perception!!
