Hereditary sensory and autonomic neuropathy type IV (HSAN IV) is caused by mutations in the tyrosin kinase A (TrkA) gene, encoding for the high-affinity receptor of nerve growth factor (NGF). The ...

Thermoregulation is the biological mechanism responsible for maintaining a steady internal body temperature. The three mechanisms of thermoregulation are efferent responses, afferent sensing, and ...

Maintaining a stable body temperature is essential for survival. Animals, including humans, use both autonomic processes -- such as shivering or activating brown fat -- and behaviors -- such as ...

A University of Wyoming research team found that the neuropeptide oxytocin, often known as the “love hormone,” has a previously unknown role in regulating daily thermoregulatory patterns of rest and ...
