In this episode of TNQ Sciences, Professor David Julius, a physiologist and Nobel Prize laureate, talks about his work on molecular mechanisms for pain sensation and heat including the characterization of the TRP-V1 and TRP-M8 receptors that detect capsaicin, menthol, and temperature. We get to know why birds don’t respond to capsaicin, thresholds for TRP receptors and whether they're affected by regional or racial differences, and his seminal contribution of the neural and molecular basis for the sense of temperature and pain.
Joining him in conversation is Ramaseshan Ramachandran, well-known science journalist and former science correspondent for The Hindu newspaper and Frontline Magazine.
