Horned dinosaurs probably used their noses not just for smelling but also to help control temperature and moisture.

Some creatures can dramatically alter their internal temperature — a strategy called heterothermy — and outlast storms, ...

BATON ROUGE – Scientists at Pennington Biomedical Research Center have gained greater clarity in the brain regions and neurons that control metabolism, body temperature and energy use. Featured in the ...

Despite their prevalent use in patient treatment, to many, using lasers as surgical tools can seem like something out of science fiction. However, laser-assisted surgery is now a reality and marks a ...

The results of a study in rodents carried out by scientists at Nagoya University suggest that a group of neurons, called EP3 neurons, in the preoptic area (POA) of the brain play a key role in ...

Researchers have identified key neurons that regulate body temperature at 37°C in mammals. This finding could pave the way for developing a technology that artificially adjusts body temperature to ...
