Excerpt
The attainment of a critically high brain and core temperature has been proposed as an important factor limiting endurance performance in the heat, and several neurotransmitters are thought to be involved in thermoregulation. The preoptic area and anterior hypothalamus (PO/AH), the center for thermoregulation are thought to responsible in controlling thermal and neurochemical homeostasis. However, until now no study has examined the effects of critical brain and core temperature on neurotransmitters during exercise.
