Thermoregulation and Thermal Sensitivity in Humans

I had the great opportunity to be interviewed by Journal of Neurophysiology Editor-in-Chief Bill Yates (University of Pittsburgh) and to talk about my research into understanding how the human body interacts with our surrounding thermal environments, both physiologically (e.g. body temperature regulation) and perceptually (e.g. perception of temperature, wetness, touch and pain), and on how neurological diseases (e.g. Multiple Sclerosis) alter these physiological functions. 

In this podcast I also discuss our recently published paper on sensory thermo-neutrality (Davide Filingeri, Hui Zhang, Edward A. Arens. (2017) Characteristics of the local cutaneous sensory thermo-neutral zoneJournal of Neurophysiology, published online February 1, 2017. DOI: 10.1152/jn.00845.2016)
Enjoy!
