ROLE OF THE PROSENCEPHALON IN SHIVERING 
DR. HENSEL: You can see it also in the receptors. I think there 
are more receptors reacting to temperature than blindto tempera- 
ture, but the question is the quantitative sensitivity. 
DR. HEMINGWAY: May I add one more thing? This work of 
Stuart's was designed to explain the findings of Andersson. He did 
find this interesting thing, that in the posterior hypothalamus there 
is a region which when stimulated produces shivering and it is 
much more sensitive than any other part of the hypothalamus. But 
in the septal region where Andersson was working, it is possible 
to find both inhibition and facilitation of shivering. And, an inter- 
esting thing, of course, you can take out this entire septal region 
with no effect on shivering.
