The results of a study in rodents carried out by scientists at Nagoya University suggest that a group of neurons, called EP3 neurons, in the preoptic area (POA) of the brain play a key role in ...

Horned dinosaurs probably used their noses not just for smelling but also to help control temperature and moisture.

Body temperature in humans and many other mammals is regulated at around 37°C (98.6°F), which optimizes all regulatory functions. When their body temperature noticeably deviates from the normal range, ...
