Abstract
Extracellular action potentials were recorded from 80 neurons in the sensorimotor cortex of the cat as brain temperature was varied by 4 degrees to 8 degrees C. The discharge rate of 37 percent of the neurons studied increased with increasing brain temperature. The discharge rate varied inversely with temperature in 11 percent of the neurons.Keywords
