What are the cortical areas involved in temperature regulation?

15 January 2018 1 3K Report

We always mention about hypothalamic centers in thermoregulation.

What about cortical areas?

Dear Priyanka,

I think the following recent papers will help you:

Wang H, Kim M, Normoyle KP, Llano D. Thermal Regulation of the Brain-An Anatomical and Physiological Review for Clinical Neuroscientists. Front Neurosci 2016;9:528. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4720747/pdf/fnins-09-00528.pdf

Egan GF, Johnson J, Farrell M, McAllen R, Zamarripa F, McKinley MJ, Lancaster J, Denton D, Fox PT. Cortical, thalamic, and hypothalamic responses to cooling and warming the skin in awake humans: a positron-emission tomography study. Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A 2005;102(14):5262-7. http://www.pnas.org/content/102/14/5262.full.pdf

Best wishes from Germany,

Martin

How to understand this crystallographic phenomenon of low temperature crystals in zeolite?

During low-temperature testing, new diffraction peaks that appear could be indicative of several phenomena. In one of our tests, we observed notable new peaks around 40° and 45° in a specific...

Is it possible to improve the reforming section of the Haber-Bosch process without using air separation units?

A typical reforming section in a large-scale Haber-Bosch process (Figure 1) comprises two reactors. A mixture of methane (CH4) and steam (H2O) is fed into a primary reformer to produce syngas via...

Would anyone care to recommend an inexpensive waterproof serviceable (e.g., batteries can be changed) temperature logger?

I've been using Hobo pendants for years but they are up from less than $50 a few years ago to over $100, and I'm in need of an alternative.

Consciousness and the neocortex are efficient users of energy?

It is well known that the larger the organism, the less energy consumed per unit mass (Delong et al. 2010; Moses et al. 2016; Wells 2007). This is known as Kleiber’s Law, whereby the energy...
