Adaptive changes of the thermoregulatory system include morphological and functional
modifications. The morphological modifications such as changes in body shape and …

▪ Abstract The raphe magnus is part of an interrelated region of medullary raphe and
ventromedial reticular nuclei that project to all areas of the spinal gray. Activation of raphe …

How do mammals manage to maintain their body temperature within the same narrow range
in environments as different as polar regions and hot deserts? This advanced text describes …

The aim of the present study was to identify the specific afferent projections to the rostral and
caudal nucleus raphe magnus, the gigantocellular reticular nucleus pars α and the rostral …

In most mammalian species internal body temperature is maintained within narrow limits
despite large variations in ambient temperature. This phenomenon is called homeothermy …

The thalamus acts as an interface between the periphery and the cortex, with nearly every
sensory modality processing information in the thalamocortical circuit. Despite well …

To identify thermosensitive areas of brain, we exposed rats to warm or cool environments
and used the expression of the protein Fos as a marker of neuronal activity. In hyperthermic …

Our understanding of the neural control of body temperature has been clarified by research
over the past ten years. Overall, ascending thermal inputs are integrated with other thermal …

We investigated the thermoregulatory responses of sympathetic fibres supplying the tail in
urethane‐anaesthetised rats. When skin and rectal temperatures were kept above 39° C, tail …

The mechanism of heat transduction in vertebrate sensory neurons was investigated in vitro
by using cultured dorsal root ganglion neurons from adult rat. In response to a …
