Term Information

Accession: GO:0050955
Name: thermoception
Ontology: biological_process
Synonyms: thermoreception
Alternate IDs: None
Definition: The series of events required for an organism to receive a temperature stimulus, convert it to a molecular signal, and recognize and characterize the signal. Thermoception in larger animals is mainly done in the skin; mammals have at least two types of sensor, for detecting heat (temperatures above body temperature) and cold (temperatures below body temperature).
