Abstract
The neural control of body temperature has been studied using the various techniques available to neurobiologists, each of which contributes a particular body of data. Lesioning techniques delineate the central nervous system (CNS) areas whose integrity is important for proper thermoregulation; stimulation studies (physiological, electrical, or chemical) reveal the outputs generated by various CNS areas or sensitive neuronal populations functioning in thermoregulation. Electrophysiological techniques supply detailed information on the activities of neurones in the CNS which are presumed to act in thermoregulation, and to be acted upon by the physical (temperature) and chemical (hormones, transmitters, pyrogens) agents that drive or modify the function of the system.
