The Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine 2021 awarded "for the discoveries of receptors for temperature and touch"

Our ability to sense heat, cold and touch is essential for survival and underpins our interaction with the world around us. In our daily lives we take these sensations for granted, but how are nerve impulses initiated so that temperature and pressure can be perceived? This question has been solved by this year’s Nobel Prize laureates.
