Chikara Abe, Yusuke Yamaoka et al. show that chemogenetic activation of VGLUT2-expressing neurons in the vestibular nuclear complex induces hypothermia, while their deletion suppresses hypergravity load-induced hypothermia in mice. These findings suggest an important role for these glutamatergic neurons in thermoregulation.
