Temperature sensations are not well localised because the neurons that carry information to the brain about temperature have large .
Thus we are generally unable to detect changes in temperature in very small patches of skin but need to integrate information coming from a larger surface area. Indeed, our ability to well localize a cold or hot object touching our skin is due to activation of cutaneous
