The preoptic area (POA) is a key regulator of body temperature, orchestrating behavioral and physiological thermoregulatory functions, including fever, torpor, and homeostatic responses to ambient temperature. Histamine regulates body temperature across animal taxa, including mammals, lower vertebrates, and invertebrates. Hrh1, which encodes the histamine H1 receptor, is expressed in several neuronal populations in the POA with limited overlap with other POA thermoregulatory neurons. Acute activation of POAHrh1 neurons increased body temperature and physical activity. Acute inhibition attenuated the dark phase increase in body temperature without affecting physical activity. There was no effect of inhibition on body temperature during the light phase, fever, cold exposure, or warm exposure. Assessing behavioral thermoregulation, we found that POAHrh1 neurons stimulated nest building in both sexes, possibly contributing to cold-induced nesting behavior. Through projections to the arcuate, dorsomedial hypothalamic and tuberomammillary nuclei, POAHrh1 neurons can increase body temperature and physical activity. Overall, POAHrh1 neurons participate in several thermoregulatory functions, including daily body temperature rhythm regulation, physical activity, and nest building behavior.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
