There are heat-sensitive units in the anterior hypothalamus which respond with an increase
of discharge frequency to a rise in hypothalamic temperature of less than 1° C. The increase
of unit discharge occurred in advance of the onset of polypnea, and the unit has little phasic
response or after discharge, and shows little adaptation.
