Abstract

1. Cutaneous thermoreceptors were examined electrophysiologically in primates (monkey, baboon) and in sub‐primates (dog and rat) by recording from single units dissected from peripheral nerves. 2. Thermal stimuli were delivered from thermodes in contact with the skin. 3. Primate ‘cold’ receptors had spot‐like receptive fields and were found in both hairy and glabrous skin. The conduction velocities of the axons ranged from 0·6 to 15·3 m/sec. 4. The discharge from the primate receptors characteristically appeared in bursts with intervals of silence within the range temperatures of 18‐40° C. Static and dynamic sensitivity curves were established, with maxima about 30° C. 5. Cold receptors in the lip of the dog had maximal sensitivity at 31‐37° C. The axons were myelinated with conduction velocities less than 20 m/sec. 6. ‘Warm’ receptors, with maximal sensitivity at 40° C and non‐myelinated axons, were abundant in the scrotal nerve of the rat. The ‘cold’ receptors had maximal responses at 23‐28° C. 7. The ‘spurious’ thermoreceptor behaviour of slowly adapting mechanoreceptors is described and the way in which they may distort integrated potential records from whole nerves is analysed.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
