Perceiving less or perceiving unreliably? Disentangling thermosensory sensitivity and precision in the contexts of ageing and neuropathy

Thermal perception is determined not only by sensitivity but also by precision.

Thermal perception is determined not only by sensitivity but also by precision. Yet, the latter is often overlooked in thermosensation and pain research. This study examined how ageing and diabetic polyneuropathy (DPN) affect these parameters and whether assessing both…
