[Characteristics of afferent impulsation from cutaneous receptors during exposure to air currents]

The method of colliding pulses was used to study the afferent flows in various types of the nerve fibers of the skin nerve innervating the medial surface of the hair-covered skin of cat paw. Alterations in the intensity of the acting stimulus caused changes in the structure of the afferent flow. Increased air flow led to increase in the number of active fibers, of the frequency of the afferent impulsation, and also to inclusion of the fibers of the other types into the excitation.
