The explosion of knowledge set off by the characterization of endorphins and their receptors has created opportunities for new perspectives on a variety of phenomena. This brief essay examines one such phenomenon--the human febrile response--and proposes an alteration of the current model of the neuroendocrine circuitry controlling body temperature. Using behavioral thermoregulation as a starting point, we shall touch upon implications of this model for describing other forms of goal-directed motor activity.
内啡肽及其受体特性所引发的知识爆炸，为从多种视角看待各种现象创造了机会。这篇短文探讨了其中一种现象——人体发热反应，并提议对当前控制体温的神经内分泌回路模型进行修正。以行为体温调节为出发点，我们将探讨该模型对于描述其他形式的目标导向性运动活动的意义。
