Central thermoreceptors, located in the hypothalamus, are sensitive to changes in internal core temperature and effectively monitor the temperature of blood flowing to the brain. d.

The central thermal controller receives nonthermal sensory inputs that are capable of modulating the homeostatic regulation of body temperature.
