Abstract
Rising environmental temperatures challenge nervous systems. We examine how neural systems enable acclimation to prolonged heat exposure, the limits of such adaptation, and the behavioural and social strategies that shape heat resilience. Understanding the neural mechanisms of adaptation to heat may inform strategies to cope with a warming world.
期刊介绍:
Nature Reviews Neuroscience is a multidisciplinary journal that covers various fields within neuroscience, aiming to offer a comprehensive understanding of the structure and function of the central nervous system. Advances in molecular, developmental, and cognitive neuroscience, facilitated by powerful experimental techniques and theoretical approaches, have made enduring neurobiological questions more accessible. Nature Reviews Neuroscience serves as a reliable and accessible resource, addressing the breadth and depth of modern neuroscience. It acts as an authoritative and engaging reference for scientists interested in all aspects of neuroscience.
