Regulation of Body Temperature
TL;DR: Birds are endotherms, a term indicating that they are able to increase their body temperature by generating a considerable amount of heat within their tissues instead of relying on heat gained directly from their surroundings.
Journal ArticleDOI
Tryptamine: a neuromodulator or neurotransmitter in mammalian brain?
TL;DR: Whatever the role of tryptamine in the CNS it is clear that it not simply present as an accident of metabolism or a "biological artefact," the indications are that it possesses important functions in central neurotransmission.
Journal ArticleDOI
Changes in body temperature after administration of adrenergic and serotonergic agents and related drugs including antidepressants: II.
Wesley G. Clark,J.M. Lipton +1 more
TL;DR: This survey, the third in a series, presents extensive tabulations of literature on thermoregulatory effects of adrenergic and serotonergic agonists and their antagonists including ergot alkaloids, amphetamines, tryptamines, monoamine oxidase inhibitors, tricyclic and other antidepressants.
Book ChapterDOI
Avian Adjustments to Cold
TL;DR: The responses of birds to cold have been studied extensively over the past 4 decades and reviewed repeatedly within more general accounts of avian thermoregulation, as well as as part of monographs on individual species.

Effects on temperature of amines injected into the cerebral ventricles. a new concept of temperature regulation.
W. Feldberg,R. D. Myers +1 more
TL;DR: The present experiments show that these amines affect body temperature when injected into the cerebral ventricles of an unanaesthetized cat, and suggest that the three amines which are present in relatively high concentrations in the hypothalamus play a role in theothalamic regulation of body temperature.

A new concept of temperature regulation by amines in the hypothalamus.
W. Feldberg,R. D. Myers +1 more
TL;DR: It is found that adrenaline, noradrenaline and 5-hydroxytryptamine are present in relatively high concentrations in that part of the wall of the third ventricle known as the hypothalamus, yet no definite function could be attributed, to their presence in this diencephalic structure.
Journal ArticleDOI
Changes in temperature produced by micro‐injections of amines into the anterior hypothalamus of cats
W. Feldberg,R. D. Myers +1 more
TL;DR: The present experiments show that, when injected into the anterior hypothalamus of unanaesthetized cats, 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) raises, and the catecholamines adrenaline and noradrenaline lower body temperature, recorded rectally.
Journal ArticleDOI
The effect of the sympathomimetic amines on behaviour and electrocortical activity of the chicken.
TL;DR: It appeared that in the young chick, the amphetamine-like substances produced their effect neither by the central release of noradrenaline nor by a central action on adrenaline or nor adrenaline receptors but rather by the activation of central inhibitory mechanisms.
