Abstract

Thermoregulation is a critical aspect of homeostasis in mammals, ensuring that body temperature remains within a narrow, optimal range. The neural system plays a pivotal role in this process, integrating various signals and orchestrating responses to maintain thermal balance. This review delivers into the mechanisms by which the neural system regulates body temperature, the central and peripheral components involved, and the implications of thermoregulatory dysfunction.
