The motor features of PHS are exaggerated PD symptoms related to decreased dopaminergic activity in the nigro-striatal system. The role of dopamine in thermal regulation is also well known. These dopamine pathways within the hypothalamus include the preoptic area, the anterior hypothalamus concerned with thermal detection, and the posterior hypothalamus involved with generation of effector signals. The thermosensitive neurons respond to local changes in blood temperature as well as to afferent information from peripheral thermosensors.
