1. Fever is the widely known hallmark of disease and induced by the action of the nervous system. 2. It is generally accepted that the action of prostaglandin E-2 in the preoptic area (POA) triggers the stimulation of the sympathetic nervous system, and this results in the production of fever. 3. Recent findings have demonstrated that the rostral medullary raphe regions are essential for the pyrogenic signal transmission from the POA to sympathetic output neurons. 4. Here, I review the functional role of these raphe regions in febrile responses and also discuss the pyrogenic transmission from the POA to the raphe regions. (C) 2004 Elsevier Ltd.
