“…Cooling of the forehead and cheeks evokes a similar, yet less pronounced, response in humans (1,3,7,11,14,15,18,19,21,22), which occurs secondary to stimulation of the cold afferents of the trigeminal nerve (10,17). Face cooling in humans simultaneously stimulates the parasympathetic and sympathetic nervous systems, evoking bradycardia and peripheral vasoconstriction (1,3,7,11,14,15,18,19,21,22). In humans, reductions in heart rate are not sufficient to reduce cardiac output (3).…”
