The lateral parabrachial nucleus, but not the thalamus, mediates thermosensory pathways for behavioural thermoregulation

Abstract Thermoregulatory behaviour, such as migration to a comfortable thermal environment, is a representative innate animal behaviour and facilitates effective autonomic regulation of body temperature with a reduced cost of resources. Here we determine the central thermosensory ascending pathway...
