Properties of cold receptors

Bulletin of Experimental Biology and Medicine Aims and scope

Summary

Experiments were performed using a set of temperature stimuli of the same intensity but of a different extent. This allowed determination of a number of important properties of the cold receptors of human skin.

The “cold spot” may include a single receptor element or a group of receptors depending on the size of the area subjected to the stimulus used in investigation of cold spots.
