Abstract

In the monkey, thermoregulatory path-ways for sweating are located in the lateral and anterolateral columns of the spinal cord and exert a completely or almost completely crossed influence. The crossing is a spinal one, located close to the level of preganglionic outflow. Little evidence was encountered for the presence of pathways for piloerection and shivering in the lateral column of the spinal cord. These pathways appear to be situated in the anterior column, and are both crossed and uncrossed, the uncrossed component being the greater.
