DOI: 10.1016/j.cub.2018.06.043
Abstract: Skin and body warming help initiate sleep, but the underlying neural mechanisms remain unclear. New research in mice shows that skin warming recruits a previously unidentified hypothalamic circuit that functions to promote sleep and body… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.jtherbio.2021.103174
Abstract: PURPOSE This study investigated the influence of whole body cooling on local thermal sensitivity to warm (40°C) and cold (20°C) stimuli in 10 young (age: 24 ± 2 yrs) and 10 older males (age: 69 ± 4 yrs). METHODS Local warm… read more here.

DOI: 10.1115/1.4045114
Abstract: The objective of this study was to test the feasibility of Selective Thermal Stimulation (STS) as a method to upregulate glabrous skin blood flow. STS is accomplished by mild surface heating along the spinal cord.… read more here.

DOI: 10.3389/fnins.2019.00336
Abstract: Mammals have evolved a range of behavioural and neurological mechanisms that coordinate cycles of thermoregulation and sleep. Whether diurnal or nocturnal, sleep onset and a reduction in core temperature occur together. Non-rapid eye movement (NREM)… read more here.

Exogenous Ketone Salt Supplementation and Whole-Body Cooling Do Not Improve Short-Term Physical Performance

DOI: 10.3389/fnut.2021.663206
Abstract: Exogenous ketone supplementation and whole-body cooling (WBC) have shown to independently influence exercise metabolism. Whether readily available ketone salts, with and without WBC, would provide similar metabolic benefits during steady-state aerobic and time-trial performances was… read more here.
