Protracted effects of chronic stress on serotonin-dependent thermoregulation [PDF]
, 2015 Chronic stress is known to affect serotonin (5HT) neurotransmission in the brain and to alter body temperature. The body temperature is controlled in part, by the medial preoptic area (mPOA) of the hypothalamus.

Aerobic power, huddling and the efficiency of torpor in the South American marsupial, Dromiciops gliroides. [PDF]
, 2012 During periods of cold, small endotherms depend on a continuous supply of food and energy to maintain euthermic body temperature (T(b)), which can be challenging if food is limited. In these conditions, energy-saving strategies are critical to reduce the

Fever and Infection in the Neurosurgical Intensive Care Unit [PDF]
, 2010 Fever is an adaptive response to a variety of infectious, inflammatory, and foreign stimuli. The “febrile response” confers an immunological advantage to the host over invading microorganisms – bacterial, fungal and viral.

An approach that helps break down gender stereotypes: Research and Commentary [PDF]
, 2014 Globally, the use of the skin to skin (STS) contact, also known as kangaroo care, has become widely used within neonatal units. Evidence suggests that STS has a number of significant benefits for both premature infants and their parents. Benefits include

Circadian Oscillations in the Murine Preoptic Area Are Reset by Temperature, but Not Light
Frontiers in Physiology, 2022 Mammals maintain their internal body temperature within a physiologically optimal range. This involves the regulation of core body temperature in response to changing environmental temperatures and a natural circadian oscillation of internal temperatures.

Considerations for the measurement of core, skin and mean body temperatures [PDF]
, 2014 Despite previous reviews and commentaries, significant misconceptions remain concerning deep-body (core) and skin temperature measurement in humans. Therefore, the authors have assembled the pertinent Laws of Thermodynamics and other first principles ...

Effects of thermoregulation on human sleep patterns: A mathematical model of sleep-wake cycles with REM-NREM subcircuit [PDF]
, 2015 In this paper we construct a mathematical model of human sleep/wake regulation with thermoregulation and temperature e ects. Simulations of this model show features previously presented in experimental data such as elongation of duration and number of ...

EFFECTS OF COLD ON BODY TEMPERATURE REGULATION OF WILD TURKEYS
Wildlife Society Bulletin, 2000 : In northern latitudes, many bird species conserve energy during cold periods by decreasing their resting phase body temperature (Tb). We evaluated the influence of cold stress on Tb regulation of wild turkeys (Meleagris gallopavo silvestris) during ...
