Activity of myelinated fibers under heat and burn influences on the skin
1993
The dynamics of the activity of myelinated fibers of a cutaneous nerve under heat and burn influences on hair-covered skin was investigated in acute experiments on cats using the method of cross-correlation functions. Under heat influence on the skin the total activity of the nerve was reduced chiefly at the expense of the rapidly conducting myelinated fibers, whereas in the case of painful heating of the skin the Aδ fibers were activated. The results obtained make it possible to solve the problem of the heat-information code from the standpoint of the flow "pattern" theory.
