Hot and cold in Drosophila larvae

Temperature is one of our most important physical cues, with extremes eliciting painful sensory warnings of tissue damage. Two recent publications present findings in Drosophila that implicate different neural substrates for low- and high-temperature responses, as well as indicating that a transient...

Zusammenfassung:	Temperature is one of our most important physical cues, with extremes eliciting painful sensory warnings of tissue damage. Two recent publications present findings in Drosophila that implicate different neural substrates for low- and high-temperature responses, as well as indicating that a transient receptor potential (TRP) channel family member, painless, plays a role in these responses.
