Note

Accurate sensing of changes in environmental temperature is a fundamental process. Budelli et al. (2019) describe a specific type of phasic thermosensory neurons in the Drosophila arista, dubbed "cooling cells," that rely on ionotropic receptors (IRs) for their function and mediate cold and warm avoidance.
