Popis: MODELS describing the central nervous control of thermoregulation1,2 are based at present on the discharge characteristics of temperature rate-sensitive neurones in the preoptic (PO) area and the hypothalamus. These neurones are believed to be involved in thermoregulation because they are anatomically located in an area affecting thermoregulatory control3–5 and respond to both local6–8 and peripheral9–11 temperature change. Examination of the temporal distribution of interspike intervals from PO neurones in our experiments suggests that temperature rate-insensitive PO neurones also process thermoregulatory information.
