The regulation of body temperature is one of the most critical functions of the nervous
system. Here we review our current understanding of thermoregulation in mammals. We …

Maintenance of a homeostatic body core temperature is a critical brain function
accomplished by a central neural network. This orchestrates a complex behavioral and …

This review analyses whether skin temperature represents ambient temperature and serves
as a feedforward signal for the thermoregulation system, or whether it is one of the body's …

Body temperature regulation is a fundamental homeostatic function that is governed by the
central nervous system in homeothermic animals, including humans. The central …

Central neural circuits orchestrate a homeostatic repertoire to maintain body temperature
during environmental temperature challenges and to alter body temperature during the …

Thermoregulation is one of the most vital functions of the brain, but how temperature
information is converted into homeostatic responses remains unknown. Here, we use an …

While summarizing the current understanding of how body temperature (Tb) is regulated,
this review discusses the recent progress in the following areas: central and peripheral …

Heat exchange processes between the body and the environment are introduced. The
definition of the thermoneutral zone as the ambient temperature range within which body …

Defending body temperature against environmental thermal challenges is one of the most
fundamental homeostatic functions that are governed by the nervous system. Here we …

Thermogenesis, the production of heat energy, is an essential component of the homeostatic
repertoire to maintain body temperature in mammals and birds during the challenge of low …
