Abstract Spinal cord injury (SCI) in humans can robustly dysregulate healthy autonomic nervous system function, including thermoregulation. Despite this, the relationship between SCI and autonomic dysfunction remains incompletely understood and is often overlooked in rodent models that emphasize locomotor recovery. One notable autonomic output in rodents is stress-induced hyperthermia, which is a transient core temperature increase caused by an acute stressor.
