The end-bulbs of Krause were thought to be thermoreceptors, sensing cold temperatures, but in early research their function remained unknown. [3] Recently optogenetic studies revealed their role in sexual stimulation and mating behavior in mice:
Krause discovered and described mechanoreceptors that were to become known as "Krause's corpuscles", sometimes referred to as "Krause's end-bulbs". [citation needed] His name is also associated with: "Krause's membranes": defined as isotropic bands in striated muscle fiber that consist of disks of sarcoplasm and connect the individual fibrils ...

The end-bulb of Krause or bulboid corpuscle detects temperatures above body temperature. Ruffini's end organ detects temperatures below body temperature. TRPV1 is a heat-activated channel that acts as a small heat detecting thermometer in the membrane which begins the polarization of the neural fiber when exposed to changes in temperature.
