Popis: | The distribution of interspike intervals (ISI) in discharges of posterior hypothalamic neurons at a temperature of 39.1-0.02°C (thermoneutral zone) and during a rise and fall of the temperature of this region of the brain by 0.6–1.5°C was investigated in chronic experiments on rabbits. Spontaneous posterior hypothalamic unit activity recorded in the thermoneutral zone was characterized by several types of ISI distributions. Thermosensitive posterior hypothalamic neurons responded to a rise and fall of the temperature of this brain region by changes in the type of ISI distribution; the discharge pattern returned to its original form after temperature stimulation ended. |
