Abstract
The 3- to 5-fold increase of electrical resistance, reported by Bahrmann to be associated with cold block in frog nerve, is found to apply only to nerves frozen after supercooling to an average temp. of[long dash]6.0[degree] C. Freezing block can be induced in normal frog nerve at[long dash]1.0 to[long dash]2.0[degree], with a resistance increase of less than 100%. Rat nerves, and frog nerves under certain conditions, can be blocked by cold without ice formation and with no gross break in the temp.-resistance curve.This publication has 2 references indexed in Scilit:
