Abstract

This year's Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine was awarded to David Julius and Ardem Patapoutian for "explaining the molecular basis for sensing heat, cold and mechanical force." Their findings capped off a scientific quest to identify the mechanisms within the somatosensory system mediating the detection of internal and external environments.
