Protracted effects of chronic stress on serotonin-dependent thermoregulation [PDF]

open access: yes, 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.

Communal roosting, thermoregulatory benefits and breeding group size predictability in cooperatively breeding sociable weavers

open access: yesJournal of Avian Biology, 2016
Extreme temperatures impose energy costs on endotherms through thermoregulation and different adaptations help individuals to cope with these conditions.

Is countershading camouflage robust to lighting change due to weather? [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Countershading is a pattern of coloration thought to have evolved in order to implement camouflage. By adopting a pattern of coloration that makes the surface facing towards the sun darker and the surface facing away from the sun lighter, the overall ...

Total and Partial Sleep Deprivation in Clomipramine-Treated Endogenous Depressives [PDF]

open access: yes, 1990
Improvement in depression after total sleep deprivation (TSD) is, as a rule, followed by relapse after subsequent ad libitum sleep. This study is addressed to the question of how nocturnal partial sleep following TSD affects this relapse.

Nest thermoregulation in Polybia scutellaris (White) (Hymenoptera: Vespidae) [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
Polybia scutellaris (White) builds large nests characterized by numerous spiny projections on the surface. In order to determine whether or not the nest temperature is maintained because of homeothermic conditions of the nest individuals or otherwise, we

Diving behaviour of a reptile (Crocodylus johnstoni) in the wild: Interactions with heart rate and body temperature [PDF]

open access: yes, 2005
The differences in physical properties of air and water pose unique behavioural and physiological demands on semiaquatic animals. The aim of this study was to describe the diving behaviour of the freshwater crocodile Crocodylus johnstoni in the wild and ...

Huddling substates in mice facilitate dynamic changes in body temperature and are modulated by Shank3b and Trpm8 mutation

open access: yesCommunications Biology
Social thermoregulation is a means of maintaining homeostatic body temperature. While adult mice are a model organism for studying both social behavior and energy regulation, the relationship between huddling and core body temperature (Tb) is poorly ...

Toward a Radically Embodied Neuroscience of Attachment and Relationships

open access: yesFrontiers in Human Neuroscience, 2015
Attachment theory (Bowlby, 1969/1982) posits that internal working models are a foundational feature of human bonds. Radical embodied approaches suggest that cognition requires no computation or representation, favoring a cognition situated in a body in ...
