What is it about?
What are the underlying factors and neural basis of thermoregulatory dysfunction in patients in the chronic phase of stroke? Our study found that thermoregulatory dysfunction was strongly associated with a hypothalamic lesion, as well as deficits in behavioral control and attention.

Why is it important?
Thermoregulatory dysfunction in chronic cerebrovascular disease is associated with both physiological and cognitive factors, particularly hypothalamic damage and impaired behavioral control and attention.
Perspectives
Our study underscores the potential importance of considering thermoregulatory risk in individuals with both hypothalamic involvement and deficits in behavioral control and attention following cerebrovascular events. Early identification of these factors may help reduce the risk of adverse temperature-related outcomes, such as hypothermia and heatstroke.
