Fig. 8. Neural pathways for 2MT-evoked hypothermia.

Fig. 8

2MT is sensed by Trpa1 in trigeminal ganglion (TG) neurons and vagal ganglion (VG) neurons. A subpopulation of vGlut2+ PBel neurons receive the 2MT signal directly from TG neurons or indirectly via Sp5 neurons. These vGlut2+ PBel neurons transmit the 2MT signal to vGlut2+ PSTh neurons, which relay the signal to NTS neurons to trigger hypothermia and tail vasodilation.
