At the cellular and molecular level our knowledge of
mechanisms governing thermal balance is increasing
dramatically aided by the continuous advances in
technology. Yet, at the systems level (i.e., the
level of architecture and organization) several
fundamental questions remain unanswered. The most
prominent of these questions involves the mechanism
by which the thermoregulatory threshold is determined
which, after numerous investigations, remains a
mystery. The current book presents findings from a
series of five experiments in conjunction with
published data in an attempt to shed more light on
the functional architecture of the human
thermoregulatory system. The hypothalamic
proportional control around an adjustable set point
has been the prevailing concept of human
thermoregulation for the past 50 years despite
criticism from authors proposing concepts such as the
‘Comparator Model’, the ‘Null Zone Model’ and ‘Heat
Regulation Model’. An in-depth discussion of these
concepts is presented together with experiments
aiming to increase our thermoregulatory understanding.
