Abstract

Humans and animals alike perform behaviors-like putting on a sweater or building a warm nest-to regulate body temperature. In this issue of Neuron, Jung et al. (2022) reveal a parabrachial nucleus-to-lateral hypothalamus circuit that regulates thermoregulatory behavior, a circuit distinct from that which governs motivated feeding behavior.
