[Impulse activity of skin receptors in local convective and radiant cooling]

In rabbits, impulse activity in cooling through convection was 8 times as great as in cooling through radiation. The former cooling increases impulse activity twofold as compared to the radiation cooling in hairless areas. Changes in impulse activity of fibers of the cutaneous nerve were characterized by considerable fluctuations of rhythm and an increase of receptors activity in hairless areas thus showing an obvious relation with cooling of cutaneous tissues.
