Unit 3 – Sensation and Perception
Topic 3.6
How does capsaicin, found in hot peppers, interact with the TRPV1 receptor to simulate the sensation of heat or physical abrasiveness?
It deactivates the TRPV1 receptor temporarily resulting in a numb feeling.
It binds to and activates the receptor causing an influx of calcium ions.
It indirectly influences TRPV1 through a secondary messenger.
It blocks the receptor preventing it from receiving any signals.
