when the hypothalamus raises the set point for body temperature

Explanation:

The hypothalamus acts as the body's thermostat. A fever occurs when the hypothalamus raises the set - point for body temperature. The body then tries to reach this new, higher set - point, leading to an increase in body temperature (fever). Lowering the set - point would lead to a decrease in body temperature, not a fever.
