Abstract
If by a suitable peripheral pain stimulus a spinal irradiation is brought about, the localization error of temp. points is reversibly increased and the duration of a temp. sensation which is provoked by a stimulation of a temp. spot with a constant temp. is reduced. The results are due to quantitative and qualitative changes in the temp. sensations. The former are explained on the basis of Uchtomsky''s dominance theory; the latter as the expression of mutual cortical influences.
