Caution against human extrapolation from rats; extends rodent models of hyperthermia-induced sympathetic reorganization.
Does heat stress alter the sympathetic nerve discharge bursting pattern in chloralose-anesthetized rats?
Acute heat stress profoundly alters the organization of neural circuits responsible for sympathetic nerve activity, providing a mechanism for increasing sympathetic activity during hyperthermia.
Kenney et al. (1998) studied this question.
