Editorial: Temperature-dependent mechanisms of neuron functioning: Emerging concepts
Résumé
Life of organisms crucially depends on ability to detect external and internal temperatures and adequately react to their variations. This ability is provided by multiple mechanisms operating in neurons and non-neuronal cells at different structural levels, from molecular and sub-cellular to cellular and systemic. Studies of such mechanisms in various research domains each year bring new findings, which require an integrated comprehensive assessment. A pledge of progress in the field is establishing closer mutually enriching inter-domain links. This Research Topic is designed as a step forward on this way. It is aimed at assembling contributions of researchers from different domains of expertise and building together a conceptual framework for deeper insight into mechanisms underlying temperature-dependence of functioning of neurons and other cell types in health and disease. It contains 6 contributions including 3 original research articles, 2 reviews, and 1 mini review.
