| | Sense - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Thermoception is the sense of heat and the absence of heat (cold), also by the skin and including internal skin passages. | | | There is some disagreement about how many senses this actually represents--the thermoceptors in the skin are quite different from the homeostatic thermoceptors which provide feedback on internal body temperature. | | | There are a variety of pressure receptors that respond to variations in pressure (firm, brushing, sustained, etc). |

| | Trigeminal neuralgia |
| | The trigeminal nerve is the fifth cranial nerve, responsible for sensory data such as tactition (pressure), thermoception (temperature), and nociception (pain). | | | Trigeminal neuralgia is considered by most physicians to be the most painful condition known to man, and has, in fact, been called the, "suicide disease," because this has been the choice of many people who were unable to have their pain controlled with medications or surgery. | | | In those suffering from trigeminal neuralgia, the myelin sheath of this nerve has been damaged, causing the electrical impusles traveling along it to be erratic or excessive, activating pain regions in the brain. |

| | Runx3 controls the axonal projection of proprioceptive dorsal root ganglion neurons - Nature Neuroscience |
| | Three types of proprioceptive DRG neurons provide information about muscle length and tension to the spinal cord. | | | Although substantial information about the different types of DRG neurons has accumulated, the intrinsic mechanisms through which distinct subpopulations seek out their synaptic partners are still largely unknown. | | | Group Ia afferent axons centrally ramify in the intermediate zone of the spinal cord and terminate in the motor nucleus of the ventral horn, whereas group Ib and II afferent axons project to the intermediate zone. |

| | Thermoception - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | Thermoception or thermoreception is the sense by which an organism perceives temperature. | | | A particularly specialized form of thermoception is used by some snakes, such as the pit vipers, which can effectively see the infrared radiation emitted by hot objects. | | | In larger animals, most thermoception is done by the skin. |
