| Abstract | This paper presents strong evidence that integrative thermoregulatory neurons exert a variety of rhythmic control over all thermoregulatory motor outputs. Furthermore, it is shown that without an oscillating integrative and motor system, especially pathways controlling peripheral heat loss, a thermoregulatory system is unstable. |
