Protection of the brain against heat damage
In homeothermic animals, metabolic heat production in the brain is higher than in other tissues. However, cerebral tissue is susceptible to heat. Several animals have mechanisms that selectively cool the brain during hyperthermia (i.e., selective brain ...

Estrogenic modulation of female thermoregulatory behavior in a cold environment
Thermoregulation is categorized as either autonomic (i.e., sweating, shivering) or behavioral (i.e., wearing clothes, usage of air conditioner) thermoregulation. Compared to autonomic thermoregulation, the neural pathway of behavioral thermoregulation in

Changes in body temperature [PDF]
People over the age of 60 have, on average, a lower temperature than the accepted 'normal' value of 37°C. There is also less variability in temperature, which means that older people may have little fever response to severe infection. People with cognitive impairment may have either higher or lower temperature; this may be due to loss of appropriate ...

Cold-Blooded Attention: Finger Temperature Predicts Attentional Performance
Thermal stress has been shown to increase the chances of unsafe behavior during industrial and driving performances due to reductions in mental and attentional resources.
