The mammalian brain controls heat generation and heat loss mechanisms that regulate
body temperature and energy metabolism. Thermoeffectors include brown adipose tissue …

Endothermic animals expend significant energy to maintain high body temperatures, which
offers adaptability to varying environmental conditions. However, this high metabolic rate …

Torpor is a physiological state with substantial translational implications. In recent years,
several brain regions responsible for controlling torpor have been pinpointed. The latest …

Endothermic animals, including humans, generate metabolic heat to maintain a stable
internal temperature, enabling activity in cold environments but at the cost of requiring …

Sleep states and transitions between them are regulated by diverse neuronal populations
found throughout the brain and are influenced by homeostatic sleep pressure. The preoptic …
