Answer:

A neural pathway connects one part of the nervous system to another using bundles of axons called tracts. The optic tract that extends from the optic nerve is an example of a neural pathway because it connects the eye to the brain; additional pathways within the brain connect to the visual cortex.The neurons that detect temperature changes are cells in a structure called the trigeminal ganglion. In humans—and zebrafish—this structure is located somewhere between the eyes and the ears.

Thermoreceptors are free nerve endings that reside in the skin, liver, and skeletal muscles, and in the hypothalamus, with cold thermoreceptors 3.5 times more common than heat receptors.
