Parallel preoptic pathways for thermoregulation.
Sympathetic premotor neurons in the rostral medullary raphe (RMR) regulate heat conservation by tail artery vasoconstriction and brown adipose tissue thermogenesis. These neurons are a critical relay in the pathway that increases body temperature. However, the origins of the inputs that activate the RMR during cold exposure have not been definitively identified. We investigated the afferents to...
متن کاملRole of the preoptic-anterior hypothalamus in thermoregulation and fever.
Lesion and thermal stimulation studies suggest that temperature regulation is controlled by a hierarchy of neural structures. Effector areas for specific thermoregulatory responses are located throughout the brain stem and spinal cord. The preoptic region, in and near the rostral hypothalamus, acts as a coordinating center and strongly influences each of the lower effector areas. The preoptic a...
متن کاملEffect of Lateral Preoptic Area Lesion on Sleep Wakefulness and Thermoregulation In Cold Acclimatized Rats
Hypothalamic temperature (Thy) alteration is one of the important stimuli that brings about thermoregulatory measures including the changes in wakefulness and muscular activity. The role of the lateral preoptic area (lPOA) in thermoregulation and sleep is well documented. But it is not known whether the integrity of the lPOA is essential for bringing about the changes in sleep-wakefulness (S-W)...
متن کاملThe medial septum acts through the medial preoptic area for thermoregulation and works with it for sleep regulation.
The chronic changes in sleep-wakefulness (S-W), body temperature (Tb), locomotor activity (LMA) and thermal preference were studied in male Wistar rats after the destruction of neurons in both the medial preoptic area (mPOA) and the medial septum (MS) by intracerebral injection of N-methyl-D-aspartic acid. An increase in the Tb, and a preference for higher ambient temperature (Tamb) of 30 degre...
متن کاملVentromedial preoptic prostaglandin E2 activates fever-producing autonomic pathways.
Fever is thought to be initiated by pyrogenic cytokines inducing the production of prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) in the preoptic area (POA); PGE2 may act as a paracrine mediator that stimulates the neural pathways that raise body temperature. This essential role for prostaglandins in fever first was proposed 25 years ago, but the specific preoptic cell groups at which PGE2 acts and the pathways throu...
