A well-known phenomenon is that animals are sensitive tothe rate of temperature change. However, the cellular andmolecular underpinnings through which animals sense and respond much morevigorously to fast temperature changes are unknown.Using Drosophila larvae, we found that nociceptive rolling behaviorwas triggered at lower temperatures and at higher frequencies whenthe temperature increased rapidly. We identified neurons in the brainthat were sensitive to the speed of the temperature increase ratherthan just to the absolute temperature. These cellular and behavioralresponses depended on the TRPA1 channel, whose activity responded tothe rate of temperature increase. We proposethat larvae use low-threshold sensors in the brain to monitorrapid temperature increases as a protective alert signal to triggerrolling behaviors, allowing fast escape before the temperature of thebrain rises to dangerous levels. |
