A mathematical model analyzing temperature threshold dependence in cold sensitive neurons.

Here we examine a class of neurons that have been recently explored, the somatosensory neuronal subclass of cold thermosensors. We create a mathematical model of a cold sensing neuron that has been formulated to understand the variety of ionic channels involved. In particular this model showcases th...
