| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
A simulated thermal sensation due to evoked TRP (Transient Receptor Potential) channels could be contribute to improve living environment and to prevent heat-related illness. For an objective approach for evaluating thermal sensation, we attempted to develop a suitable protocol for one of brain imaging techniques, fNIRS (functional Near Infrared Spectroscopy). The developed periodic thermal stimulation clearly modulates thermal sensation. We confirmed that the stimulation of Aδfibers combined with menthol administration enhanced brain activity estimated by EEG (electroencephalography) and that thermal sensation during the periodic thermal stimulation was further evoked by menthol.
