Respiration is a brain function on which our lives essentially depend. Control of respiration
ensures that the frequency and depth of breathing adapt continuously to metabolic needs. In …

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 …

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

The locus coeruleus (LC) is the major noradrenergic nucleus of the brain, giving rise to
fibres innervating extensive areas throughout the neuraxis. Recent advances in …

The raphe nuclei are distributed near the midline of the brainstem along its entire rostro-
caudal extension. The serotonergic neurons are their main neuronal components, although …

The central noradrenergic neurone, like the peripheral sympathetic neurone, is
characterized by a diffusely arborizing terminal axonal network. The central neurones …

The amygdala is a structure of the temporal lobe thought to be involved in assigning
emotional significance to environmental information and triggering adapted physiological …

The locus coeruleus (LC), the major noradrenergic nucleus of the brain, gives rise to fibres
innervating most structures of the neuraxis. Recent advances in neuroscience have helped …

Light is known to elicit non–image-forming responses, such as effects on alertness. This has
been reported especially during light exposure at night. Nighttime results might not be …

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