1. Involuntary Muscular Activity

   Linked via "lateral preoptic area (LPOA)"

   Thermoregulatory Contractions
   Shivering, the primary mechanism for generating endogenous heat (thermogenesis through non-shivering thermogenesis, NST), is a highly organized form of IMA. It involves paradoxical activation of opposing muscle groups (e.g., biceps and triceps firing asynchronously) to produce kinetic energy without net external work [3]. This activity is modulated by the descending thermosensitive tracts originating from the lateral preoptic area (LPOA) …
