Background Sleep is regulated by both circadian and homeostatic mechanisms.

The body's homeostatic mechanism keeps blood glucose levels within a narrow range.

In fact, the pleasure brought on by all recreational drugs will fade sooner or later because of the brain's own homeostatic mechanisms.

Their homeostatic mechanism is not effective in the cooler range.

In most homeostatic mechanisms, the control center is the brain.

However, some relatively simple homeostatic mechanisms are generally accepted.

Without a homeostatic mechanism, this would result in downstream saturation and all information would be lost.

As the brain forms and removes connections, homeostatic mechanisms are important to help maintain stability.

The body must change its physiological and homeostatic mechanisms in pregnancy to ensure the fetus is provided for.

An increasingly growing number of other physiological markers and homeostatic mechanisms are currently under scientific investigation.
