    Mammals may have separate brain systems for temperature control. Higher gravity (3G) reduced oxygen use in cold-exposed rats, suggesting shivering inactivation, supporting parallel neurocontrollers for thermoregulation.

    Area of Science:

    • Physiology
    • Neuroscience
    • Gravitational Biology

    Background:

    • Mammalian thermoregulation is crucial for survival.
    • Understanding neurocontrollers for temperature regulation is key.
    • Hypergravic fields may impact physiological processes.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the hypothesis of parallel neurocontrollers for mammalian temperature regulation.
    • To determine the effect of hypergravic fields on thermoregulation in rats.

    Main Methods:

    • Long-Evans hooded male rats were exposed to cold temperatures under normal gravity (1G) and hypergravic conditions (3G).
    • Oxygen consumption, core body temperature, and tail temperature were measured.
    • Rats were acclimated to either room temperature or cold (5°C for 6 weeks).

    Main Results:

    • Rats acclimated to room temperature showed a 35% decrease in oxygen consumption per minute when exposed to cold at 3G compared to 1G.
    • Cold-acclimated rats (6 weeks at 5°C) exhibited similar oxygen consumption rates at 3G and 1G during cold exposure.
    • Core and tail temperature measurements in 3G fields were consistent with these findings.

    Conclusions:

    • The findings support the proposal that mammalian thermoregulation involves parallel neurocontrollers.
    • Hypergravic fields may selectively inactivate specific thermoregulatory pathways, such as shivering.
    • These parallel neurocontrollers can be functionally uncoupled by hypergravic fields.
