Various environmental stressors, such as extreme temperatures (hot and cold), pathogens,
predators and insufficient food, can threaten life. Remarkable progress has recently been …

Thermogenesis, the production of heat energy, is the specific, neurally regulated, metabolic
function of brown adipose tissue (BAT) and contributes to the maintenance of body …

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 …

The mechanism by which psychological stress elicits various physiological responses is
unknown. We discovered a central master neural pathway in rats that drives autonomic and …

In the 15 years since the publication of two previous reviews on restraint stress much
advancement has been made in the field. However, while previous reviews have focused …

Psychological stress-induced hyperthermia (PSH) is a fundamental autonomic stress
response observed in many mammalian species. Here we show a hypothalamomedullary …
