An intact forebrain is not required for sympathetic nerve discharge responses to increased temperature, but spinal neural systems alone cannot alter SND frequency characteristics during acute heat stress.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
Spinal circuits mediate SND increases during hyperthermia without forebrain input; leaves open translation to human thermoregulation or clinical heat stress.
Kenney et al. (2000) studied this question.
