Excerpt

We congratulate Notley, Mitchell, and Taylor on their interesting, informative, and comprehensive review on thermoregulation and the principles and theories of regulation (Notley et al. 2023). Nonetheless, we found their discussion of the role learning plays in regulation to be inadequate and misleading, factors that hinder progress in understanding regulation. …
