Thermoregulation is a vital function of the autonomic nervous system in response to cold
and heat stress. Thermoregulatory physiology sustains health by keeping body core
temperature within a degree or two of 37° C, which enables normal cellular function. Heat
production and dissipation are dependent on a coordinated set of autonomic responses.
The clinical detection of thermoregulatory impairment provides important diagnostic and
localizing information in the evaluation of disorders that impair thermoregulatory pathways …
