Full Episode description

The Nobel Prize for Physiology 2021 goes to two scientists who have helped us identify which receptors in our bodies sense heat, touch, temperature and pressure.
In this podcast, we explain what these 4 receptors (TRPV1, TRPM8, PIEZO1, PIEZO2) mean, in simple terms for kids to understand. We also answer questions raised by our young listeners –
a) We always knew that we had sensors for touch and heat that sent information to our brain. What does this research tell us additionally ?
b) Why are these receptors important for us ? What would happen to us, if we did not have these receptors ?
c) All this information sounds interesting to be printed on encyclopedias and science textbooks. But where would we really be using this?
