    Simplified control circuit of human thermoregulation. [8] The core temperature of a human is regulated and stabilized primarily by the hypothalamus, a region of the brain linking the endocrine system to the nervous system, [9] and more specifically by the anterior hypothalamic nucleus and the adjacent preoptic area regions of the hypothalamus ...

  7. KNDy neuron - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/KNDy_neuron

    KNDy neurons are most densely located in the arcuate nucleus (ARC) of the hypothalamus, but also exist in the rostral periventricular area of third ventricle (RP3V) and the preoptic area (POA). [1] Expression of the KNDy peptides highlighted has been shown to differentiate between species , sexes , and with fluctuating steroidal hormonal levels ...

  8. Thermoreceptor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermoreceptor

    Neurons from the pre-optic and hypothalamic regions of the brain that respond to small changes in temperature have also been described, providing information on core temperature. The hypothalamus is involved in thermoregulation , the thermoreceptors allowing feed-forward responses to a predicted change in core body temperature in response to ...

  9. Fever - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fever

    Hence, the hypothalamus can be seen as working like a thermostat. [7] When the set point is raised, the body increases its temperature through both active generation of heat and retention of heat. Peripheral vasoconstriction both reduces heat loss through the skin and causes the person to feel cold.
