| Summary: | This authoritative update provides the necessary background for both clinically- and activity- (sports and industry) applied aspects of thermal physiology. It ranges from the transduction of heat (or temperature) into afferent neural signals, including their organization and projection, to such matters as conscious perception of heat, the processes of short- and long-term adaptations, and fever. Special sections deal with the nature of the regulator and the integration of temperature regulation with other homeostatic functions, and with the division between behavioral and autonomic responses. |
