Abstract

Afferent activity in myelinated Aδ fibers was analyzed by a modified colliding impulses method. Frequency characteristics of the orthodromic flow without preliminary electrical stimulation of Aδ fibers and after stimulation of the nerve were compared. Antidromic impulses arising during electrical stimulation of the nerve were found to produce an increase in the spike frequency in the afferent flow during adequate stimulation of the skin receptors.
