New preprint from the spinal cord group at Glasgow. Anatomical and functional characterisation of spinal circuits for cold, from sensory neurons to the brain…..https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2025.10.03.680240v1
Labelled axons of calb1+ spinal projection neurons innervate multiple brain targets associated with cold sensation and thermoregulation. Darkfield images of different brain areas including the postal parabrachial and periaqueductal grey are shown with axons of ascending cells in yellow.

It's #fluorescencefriday so here are some lovely TRMP8-expressing cold-sensing sensory neurons in a mouse DRG. DAPI nuclei in green and TRPM8 mRNA in magenta.
Cells of the mouse dorsal root ganglion. Cold sensing sensory neurons are small cells and are stained with HCR in situ hybridisation probes against TRPM8 mRNA
