Abstract:
An apparatus is described which permits the simultaneous recording of body temperature and heart beat frequency in young mice. When heart beat frequency is related to body temperature the values of the temperature characteristic for the inbred albino strain used are 22,400- calories over the range 15 to 20 degrees +, 16,000+/- calories from 20+ to 27 degrees , and 11,000+/- calories from 27 to 35 degrees +.
