Abstract

<p>In this study, we discuss the recent advances in basic research on psychogenic fever and the contribution of Japanese scientists to this domain. The study specifically focuses on the findings of pharmacological studies that investigated the suppression of stress-induced hyperthermia, the differences in neural mechanisms between stress-induced hyperthermia and infection-induced fever, and the effects of chronic stress on thermoregulation in experimental animals. We observed that in some cases, psychogenic fever may develop after stress interviews even without actual exposure to stressors.</p>
