Abstract

It has long been appreciated that behavior is the most powerful and diverse thermoregulatory mechanism. In animal-based studies a behavioral assay is typically the first assessment when investigating the effect of a perturbation on thermoregulation, highlighting its importance. Oddly however, such an approach has been largely ignored in human research.
