Editing Thermoception (section)

==In humans==
In humans, temperature sensation from [[thermoreceptor]]s{{efn|name= trpChannels}} enters the spinal cord along the axons of [[Lissauer's tract]] that synapse on second order neurons in [[grey matter]] of the [[Posterior horn of spinal cord|dorsal horn]]. The axons of these second order neurons then [[decussation|decussate]], joining the [[spinothalamic tract]] as they ascend to neurons in the [[ventral posterolateral nucleus]] of the [[thalamus]].
A study in 2017 shows that the thermosensory information passes to the [[Parabrachial nuclei|lateral parabrachial nucleus]] rather than to the thalamus and this drives thermoregulatory behaviour.<ref name="Nakamura">{{cite journal | vauthors = Nakamura K | title = [Thermoregulatory behavior and its central circuit mechanism-What thermosensory pathway drives it?] | journal = Clinical Calcium | volume = 28 | issue = 1 | pages = 65–72 | date = 2018 | pmid = 29279428 }}</ref><ref name="Yahiro">{{cite journal | vauthors = Yahiro T, Kataoka N, Nakamura Y, Nakamura K | title = The lateral parabrachial nucleus, but not the thalamus, mediates thermosensory pathways for behavioural thermoregulation | journal = Scientific Reports | volume = 7 | issue = 1 | pages = 5031 | date = July 2017 | pmid = 28694517 | pmc = 5503995 | doi = 10.1038/s41598-017-05327-8 | bibcode = 2017NatSR...7.5031Y }}</ref>
