It feels very natural to touch an object and immediately identify whether it is warm or cold. But how does this actually work? As natural as sensing temperature may seem to us, we still don’t know how and where the brain makes sense of temperature information. Jean-Sébastien Jouhanneau and Clarissa Whitmire explain in their talk how the brain processes sensory information to generate a perception of the outside world and what their results mean for all of us.
The 7th season of this successful collaboration between Charité and Urania will be jointly presented in 2022 by: Einstein Center for Neurosciences, NeuroCure, Max-Delbrück-Centrum für Molekulare Medizin in der Helmholtz-Gemeinschaft (MDC), Sonderforschungsbereich 1315 (SFB1315), Bernstein Center for Computational Neuroscience Berlin (BCCN).
