What a neuron in your finger senses the temperature when you touch something hot?

The nerve cells that detect heat (located within your Dermis) activate when touching a hot surface. This nerve impulse then travels through your central nervous system to your brain when it is translated as "pain" or "damage" to the area. The signal travels back down the arm as a reaction to move the stimulous and causes you to move your hand.

When you touch something hot a neuron in your fingers senses the temperature which best decscribes the first reaction the neuron has?
Ions flow into the neuron. An action potential forms moves along the neuron. A response occurs, here, an aversion response... your body pulls your hand and finger away.
How electrical activity of neurons might be measured?
The information each neuron processes determines how strong the action potential (electrical current) is within each neuron. An example of studying the electrical activity is by using temperature. The neurons which detect the temperature change are called sensory neurons. If you stimulate the neurons by leaving your fingertip in cold water for an adequate amount of time the electrical current within each neuron is increased as the temperature of your fingertip drops. The neurons within the fingertip sense the temperature drop and emit the electrical current, then the next neuron senses the temperature drop as the fingertip is held in the cold water and emits a stronger electrical current, the colder temperature in the next neuron as your finger is held in the water emits an even higher frequency and so on until the message arrives at the spinal cord and is then sent to the brain through the now very strong electrical current within the neurons informing it of the temperature decrease and then resulting in action outcome.
