The Ionic Thermocouple Theory of the Mechanism of Thermal Sensibility

Résumé du livre

A modification of the spatial intracutaneous gradient theory of Ebbecke and Bazett is proposed to account for the electrophysiological observations of Zotterman and Hensel on the properties of thermal receptors on the basis of an analogy with the mechanism by which anisothermal conditions produce an electromotive force in an electronic thermocouple.
