    Abstract The mammalian brain controls heat generation and heat loss mechanisms that regulate body temperature and energy metabolism. Thermoeffectors include brown adipose tissue, cutaneous blood flow and skeletal muscle, and metabolic energy sources include white adipose tissue. Neural and metabolic pathways modulating the activity and functional plasticity of these mechanisms contribute not only to the optimization of function during acute challenges, such as ambient temperature changes, infection and stress, but also to longitudinal adaptations to environmental and internal changes. Exposure of humans to repeated and seasonal cold ambient conditions leads to adaptations in thermoeffectors such as habituation of cutaneous vasoconstriction and shivering. In animals that undergo hibernation and torpor, neurally regulated metabolic and thermoregulatory adaptations enable survival during periods of significant reduction in metabolic rate. In addition, changes in diet can activate accessory neural pathways that alter thermoeffector activity. This knowledge may be harnessed for therapeutic purposes, including treatments for obesity and improved means of therapeutic hypothermia.

    Abstract The mediobasal hypothalamus (MBH) contains heterogeneous neuronal populations that regulate food intake and energy expenditure. However, the role of MBH neurons in the neural control of thermoeffector activity for thermoregulation is not known. This study sought to determine the effects of modulating the activity of MBH neurons on the sympathetic outflow to brown adipose tissue (BAT), BAT thermogenesis, and cutaneous vasomotion.

    Abstract Oxidation of fat by brown adipose tissue (BAT) contributes to energy balance and heat production. During cold exposure, BAT thermogenesis produces heat to warm the body. Obese subjects and rodents, however, show impaired BAT thermogenesis to the cold. Our previous studies suggest that vagal afferents synapsing in the nucleus tractus solitarius (NTS), tonically inhibit BAT thermogenesis to the cold in obese rats. NTS neurons send projections to the dorsal aspect of the lateral parabrachial nucleus (LPBd), which is a major integrative center that receives warm afferent inputs from the periphery and promotes inhibition of BAT thermogenesis. This study investigated the contribution of LPBd neurons in the impairment of BAT thermogenesis in rats fed a high-fat diet (HFD). By using a targeted dual viral vector approach, we found that chemogenetic activation of an NTS-LPB pathway inhibited BAT thermogenesis to the cold. We also found that the number of Fos-labelled neurons in the LPBd was higher in rats fed a HFD than in chow diet-fed rats after exposure to a cold ambient temperature. Nanoinjections of a GABA

    Abstract Immune system responses are a vital defense mechanism against pathogens. Inflammatory mediators finely regulate complex inflammatory responses from initiation to resolution. However, in certain conditions, the inflammation is initiated and amplified, but not resolved. Understanding the biological mechanisms underlying the regulation of the immune response is critical for developing therapeutic alternatives, including pharmaceuticals and bioelectronic tools. The spleen is an important immune effector organ since it orchestrates innate and adaptive immune responses such as pathogen clearance, cytokine production, and differentiation of cells, therefore playing a modulatory role that balances pro- and anti-inflammatory responses. However, modulation of splenic immune activity is a largely unexplored potential therapeutic tool that could be used for the treatment of inflammatory and life-threatening conditions. This review discusses some of the mechanisms controlling neuroimmune communication and the brain-spleen axis.

    Abstract Infectious diseases and inflammatory conditions recruit the immune system to mount an appropriate acute response that includes the production of cytokines. Cytokines evoke neurally-mediated responses to fight pathogens, such as the recruitment of thermoeffectors, thereby increasing body temperature and leading to fever. Studies suggest that the cytokine interleukin-1β (IL-1β) depends upon cyclooxygenase (COX)-mediated prostaglandin E

    Abstract Brown adipose tissue (BAT) activity is controlled by the sympathetic nervous system. Activation of BAT has shown significant promise in preclinical studies to elicit weight loss. Since the hypothalamic paraventricular nucleus (PVN) contributes to the regulation of BAT thermogenic activity, we sought to determine the effects of electrical stimulation of the PVN as a model of deep brain stimulation (DBS) for increasing BAT sympathetic nerve activity (SNA). The rostral raphe pallidus area (rRPa) was also chosen as a target for DBS since it contains the sympathetic premotor neurons for BAT. Electrical stimulation (100 µA, 100 µs, 100 Hz, for 5 min at a 50 % duty cycle) of the PVN increased BAT SNA and BAT thermogenesis. These effects were prevented by a local nanoinjection of bicuculline, a GABA

    Abstract Maintenance of mammalian core body temperature within a narrow range is a fundamental homeostatic process to optimize cellular and tissue function, and to improve survival in adverse thermal environments. Body temperature is maintained during a broad range of environmental and physiological challenges by central nervous system circuits that process thermal afferent inputs from the skin and the body core to control the activity of thermoeffectors. These include thermoregulatory behaviors, cutaneous vasomotion (vasoconstriction and, in humans, active vasodilation), thermogenesis (shivering and brown adipose tissue), evaporative heat loss (salivary spreading in rodents, and human sweating). This review provides an overview of the central nervous system circuits for thermoregulatory reflex regulation of thermoeffectors.
