Abstract
Bohic et al. demonstrate that mice lacking the transcription factor BHLHA9 exhibit impaired thermotaxis and formalin-evoked pain. BHLHA9 mediates these effects by modulating spinal GABAergic signaling. The data consolidate the role of C-LTRMs in pain sensation and provide in vivo evidence of C-LTRMs in the discriminative aspects of temperature sensation.
